edited January 2012 in The Poker Clinic
Good Morning all , 
newbie here and was advised on general poker chat area to maybe post the following hand and see what advice experienced players would give.  Been playing just under a fortnight now and my gut instinct now is I should've gone all in preflop...
what do you all say?

At the time I had 3 2/4p tables open and so can't say I had any reads as to what any players at the table were playing.....I was trying to stick to top 10 hands and play hen in position only.

hand as follows - please no lol'ssss.

cheers in advance.

    Posted by paddie007
    theres a sticky at top of page outlining how to post hands. also be aware of what internet browser your using as some dont post correctly for some reason.

    what little i can decipher so far looks not too bad, i cant see the suits of the cards, but i think a bigger raise on the flop is called for, possibly make pre a little bigger with a couple of limpers. i'd be grateful that opponent was only playing around a quid losing this hand. if you can get a proper hand history up then im sure you will get better advice

    ok sorry all this copy and paste not working with firefox or safari (mac) so will just write it best I can

    I am sat on the button (nice) at a 2p/4p cash table, get dealt pocket aces, and so raise to 20p.
    get called by 2 guys one with approx £1 the other with £10.

    flop hits A,J,7 all cubs, first guy acts and raises 4p, I re-raise him 28p and I get re-raised allin by the guy with £1.
    other guy folds and i call thinking trip aces....he surely can't have hit the flush he shows and he has 10, Q clubs......damn

    should I have gone all in preflop?  which is what my gut instinct tells me now.. or should I have folded when he re-raises me after the flop?


    any idea how I can get rid of the copy and pastes that I made a mess of?

    kind regards
    all

    cheers dudeskin, 

    helps allay any fears I was all wrong there..
    will just stick to tournaments and sit and go's for the time being as cash games are a little scary at the moment.
