Played With AA
Hello,
I was in a certain event last night. In middle or late position I had AA. Then there were two or three callers. After a while I raised and player behind me raised. Other player called and so I raised once again. Both of them called therefore three of us were in to see the flop. Then it came and brought 5d 8d 10s or something similar. I then raised and player behind me did the same thing. Consequently we re-raised and then raised again till the limit. Other player folded. Turn came but brought nothing therefore we started to raise each other to the limit again. River came yet nothing significant and so I raised and he raised me. I finally called only to lose to 555.
How do you find my play? I know I made a mistake at some point.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Caden
Caden,
You did not make a mistake. You had pocket Aces and no legitimate reason to fold your hand. I may have slowed down a bit and maybe put an opponent on a set or a couple of pair, but I would not have folded either. A player only flops a set 11% of the time. Aces are a big favorite to fives. You did what you should and got outdrawn. That is poker.
