Did you limp in with the AA or did you raise it properly PF? You have to raise AA, slowplaying it is only asking for trouble.

Why did you sit with only $100 on a NL200 table? 1/2 should have a $200 max buy-in, and you should ALWAYS sit with the maximum. It’s not even up for debate.

Normally I’d say your push on the flop was horrible, but you’re probably +ev because you do have a made hand, and a nut flush draw with 35% of hitting it, and then of course with your fold equity, you’re goign to profit from that in the long run unless your opponant is a TAG (Tight aggressive) player.

Anyhow, you missing a lot of information there but that’s my answer

Okay, back to work!

Last night I go to the casino with $100 on a 1-2 no-limit table. I’m limping in all the time just to see if I catch something. I’m down to about $60 so I start taking things seriously.

The next hand starts. I have Ace-spades & Ace-Diamonds. The flop comes up 3-spade, 5-spade, 7-spade. The idiot that I am, I go all in. I wanted to scare out everybody who might be looking to draw. Unfortunately the one guy has K-spade, 2-spade.

Ugh…

Of course no more spades came.

Would you have done the same thing?

One thing I noticed in this post is that you have a common underlying language pattern. You said you “wished” you could have helped the asian gentleman at the table with poker. And that you felt a bit bad about the woman who folded on your $111 mistake.

But Tyler! You CAN do something. For some reason, as of late, it seems like the word “can’t” or a mindframe of “can’t” has crept into your vocabulary. I just wanted to give you a heads up as it’s something I’ve noticed. It’s obviously up to you to further recognize or reject. I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

They say that wise people take rebuke or correction (or similar things), which people lacking wisdom get angry and reject any notion like this. So with that in mind, I decided I’d tell you and let you decide for yourself.

Anyway, you CAN help them. You CAN do all of these things. Do it!
