Matt Affleck last hand....

I feel for him....seemed like a good guy.

I wouldn't be able to sleep for days in that spot with that loss.

AA vs JJ

JJ raises preflop, Affleck raises with AA

9-10-6 rainbow flop

JJ checks, Affelcks bets big, I think it was 6 million, JJ calls

Q turn

JJ checks, Affleck goes all in for 11 million
JJ calls......hits an 8 for the straight

Affleck knocked out 15th overall

ouch

     sobbed like a lil girl        grow up matt

hey mischkin04, you're a DUMBASS!!!! looks like you need to grow up!!!  

Obviously this is said in hindsight, but after he got Duhamel to commit about 4.5 million or so pre-flop, why didn't Affleck just push all in right there?

At that point, I just want to protect my stack and get to the final table. That's where you get all the endorsements and whatnot.

Taking a flop with aces is scary.

Granted, he was an 80% favorite to get the guys entire stack, but still, I'm not sure if it's worth it.

    With pocket J's he probly calls all in pre flop too.

    the guy had top pair after flop which is pretty strong and had the 10 outer at worst after turn.

     really though, how many males you see start crying after that?

        Madisow is the other   

       thats one hot avatar misfits         

 I immediately realized the same thing.  One rule of poker I follow RELIGIOUSLY is that if the pot is BIG enough already and I STRONGLY feel that I have the best hand, I push all-in. 

Affleck played the hand like a greedy retard, and for that reason, I have NO sympathy for him.  Even though he still may have gotten called by JJ with an all-in pre-flop raise (which I think would have been unlikely), at least he would have known that he played his hand correctly.  Instead, he will probably justifiably second guess himself for a long time.

Affleck lost to a runner runner straight. That is as bad a beat as you can take after the flop when you put your opponent on the exact hand that he has.

If Duhamel's cards were turned face up, Affleck probably would have played the hand almost exactly as he did...making it more or less the perfect play.

A caller on the turn will 99% of the time NEVER be drawing dead. There will always be outs to lose to. 

That being said Affleck set himself up to be a huge chip leader, make the final table and probably be in Duhamel's spot right now.

Play like this all the time and you will be a loser in the long-run? Why? Almost all of the good players at the table set themselves up to win the maximum...period. And you will be on the receiving end of that some of the time while pushing with monster hands when you could get major value.

You're losing profits in the long-run with this tight as a rock play.

Big hand for Affleck....couldn't have played it any better 

The only thing terrible was your response.  He played the hand perfectly wrong.  After the flop, you never know where you stand with AA.  And if someone is going to reraise you big pre-flop, the best way to play is to push all-in.  More often than not you will LOSE the MAXIMUM when you get cute with AA.  It is fairly easy to get away from JJ after a flop, whereas AA is a completely different story.    

At least your posts are consistently inane.  If or when you actually post something credible or insightful, I'll have to do a double-take.

      Wonder if lil Matty is still crying about his beat?
