    Have we both played this horribly here? I was multi-tabling here so didn't get to the raise button pre-flop. When the board comes AAT I think it's likely nobody is limping with AA, AT or TT so my royal flush draw is live. I figure that at NL4 to get the most fold equity this is the only way to go to make this proffitable. I know that there has to be some NL4 players who can lay down a hand here right? I'm only 34% to win this hand when he shows T2.

    Am I a gambling donk who should know better?

    Edit: I don't fully understand fold equity yet. How often does my opponent have to fold here to make it profitable. To be honest I thought my  odds were about 48% in my favour at the time because I forgot to factor in the chances of my opponent filling up. doh!

    And how about this one? Is this better because there is less chance of my opponent having a set and I have more outs?
