Keeping Warm in Winter
AAroddersAA:
Just played my first session since I said I would restart this. I was down £50, this is my worst session since I stopped this!!!!
I will keep trying to do updates on this but it"s really strange, whenever I start putting results on any kind of public forum I start to lose. I was killing the game last month just playing without posting but we will try again later and see wher it goes.

Made a quick change to the setup of my PC"s and monitors, lets hope that helps the afternoon session

Had a break even session this afternoon. Happy enough with how I played it but right at the end of the session I got it allin with AA on a flop where I was called by the flush draw. The actions went like this. I have £24 and my opponent has about £20. I have AA UTG and raise it to £0.80. He raises it to £1.80 so I make it £4 (probably not enough. The flop comes down Quuen high with two diamonds. I bet out £6 into a pot of just over £8. He shoves and I call. He hits and a £40+ pot goes to him, was a bit annoyed about this so cut the session short.
I might have brought it on myself though by not 4-Betting enough preflop, but reviewing this I am not sure I did too much wrong. Played pretty well in general, will be back later to report on later sessions. I am still £50 down today though, one pretty bad mistake but nothing major other than that.

You are thinking about the AA all wrong. Why would you want him out of the pot? you want to get max value from aces. Also he made the mistake of shoving the flush draw on the flop, he will lose money in the long run doing this. (Although granted it is better to shove than call.)
Your 3 bet pre flop is fine, again you are being results orientated. You want him to shove with the worst hand. remember you are 85% against any two cards pre flop.
I can"t comment on the percentages after because I don"t know the board, but if he hasn"t connected and is shoving a flush draw under a queen only he is about 30%

I am pretty sure every play I make in the hand is +EV
However I am supposed to raise more here preflop. Completely happy with how I played the hand but after he makes it £1.80 with his 4Bet I think I could make it more. OK in this one hand it might have folded him out but I honestly thought he had a much stronger hand. Therefore I should probably make it more than £4 here. £5.50 would be better?
Or is it fine as played? I want to make a decent sized pot to be able to commit both players on the flop right?
