............ in my favour!

72 o/s beats AA, despite a flopped A.

I was very embarrased to win this one. At the time I was in 4th of 4 with less than 5BB in a DYM, after player1 checked the flop I had to shove with my paired card. When I saw his hole cards I thought it was all over, I must have been a massive dog, the rest is history.

Poor player2 was the biggest loser, I picked up AA on the small blind the very next hand and shoved it pre-flop, my rockets stood up against his suited TJ and he was out.

I just ran it through Poker Cruncher on my iPhone, on the flop I had 3.7% vs 96.3%.

Mmmmm Interesting play by player 1. Having hit trip aces on the flop, he should of pushed all-in and took down the pot, however, a check by player 1 sends out signals of weakness but the most likely reason he checked was because he was hoping you had hit the queen and he was trying to maximise his winnings, however, his check gave you the green light to shove all-in and the rest is history.

Slow playing Aces is always a risky business so I wouldn't be too embarraced about taking the pot.

Up to this point player1 had been playing like a rock, no fancy play from him whatsoever (usually a profitable strategy in a low buy-in DYM, it was £2.25 here). On the other hand I had already switched to LAG mode needing to claw back from less than 1,000 chips when an even more distant in 4th a few hands earlier.

Arguably player1 should have just pushed all-in pre-flop, if he had he would have taken the pot there and then. Even though I would be reluctant to gave away the BB his ultra-tight table image would have given his hand away, I wouldn't have chanced it with my beer hand. 

On the flop player1 must have known he was miles ahead, so he probably checked hoping to trap the push he thought quite likely from me. I had hit the pair, but I was trying to represent an A, a Q, or two spades. His trap worked, but the turn and river were cruel.

So IMO player1 was arguably wrong to just call the BB pre-flop, but I can't really fault his post flop play.
