How not to play aces (3)
An exhibit from yours truly for a change.
I'm deal A♠A♥ in the big blind. UTG limps, and a poster checks. The SB folds. I always raise, generally pot, in this position. But, the UTG limper was a habitual limp-folder, and the poster was an incredibly tight player. So I elected to check.
When the flop came 4♦4♣J♦ I didn't want to bet because I was worried that both players would assume a big blind special with a four in my hand. So I checked again, and it was checked around.
Things didn't get much better on the turn, which was the 2♦. Finally, I decided I needed to bet, and bet the minimum $0.25 which UTG called.
The river brought the Q♣. I bet the minimum again, and now UTG put in a minimum raise. Knowing what I'd see, I called. Sure enough he showed Q♦T♦ for the flush.
I'm so embarrassed.
