hmm tought spot really, i like your large raise preflop, perhaps you could have made it 500 or 550 but 450 reeally is fine too here. On the flop i think your bet should be all in? - even thought your half of your stack bet implies the same thing as an all in... at this level these guys may still think they can shove and get u to fold.

however both these criticisms are minor, i think u played it generally ok.. but on the flop a shove is probably more prudent as u are playing with idiota's, what happened? One of them on QdKd and the other has A8 right? lol

[HalfSugar]

I don't like the weak flop bet there. The pot is 1370 and you've flopped all unders. Betting 650 of 1200 commits the last 550 no matter what so it might as well go in now instead of, as you had here, when facing two all-ins ahead of you.

I'm guessing some donk playing A8 won or maybe the diamond draw with AdQd?

[kompis]

nah we talking about darling here geno... good read tho AQd and A8 . but river J ftw

[Jauron]

What was the buy-in? Little strange they both put that much money in preflop, like enough to make me wonder if JJ is good.

We can beat 99,1010 and a flush draw and some wacky play from underpairs. Something seems very wrong here.

buyin $69+$6
You know, I was thinking of just calling Pf, but once the BTN CC I thought I should bump it up.
Am not sure, so early on, should I really put almost 1/3 of my stack PF?

As for the flop play, I though I'm facing small pairs from BTN and either a bigger pair or two face cards from original.
So no bet will not fold any hand I beat, but a smaller pair and even A high might call might normal Cbet.
