How to play Aces or NOT

edited July 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Advice on this hand please, especially the raise & call pre, vs two larger stacks.
Would he have called a 4xBB or 5xBB raise?

    you played it fine pre and on the flop but you have to shut down on the turn that makes way to many draws connect and your nly getting called if your dominated and in this case gunna be drawing dead

    pretty much a bad beat not much u could do about it id play it same way ove rn over bar the push on the turn

    You played this well until the turn. 4XBB raise pre-flop was OK as was pot size bet on flop. 

    He made loose calls pre and on the flop but when turn came you were losing to any 2 or 7 so imo best to check the turn and if opponent makes a big bet be prepared to fold.

    Aces are only one pair and are often cracked by a board like this!  

    Having said that I would like to be playing someone who makes these type of calls pre and on flop - you were unlucky this time but will profit long term.

    You could have got away from this on the turn. Unfortunately, I think you fell in love with your hand (if you pardon the pun).
