Now I have an old account which I play now and then on FullTilt. I have no rakeback and only use this for small tournaments which I sometimes run alongside my bankroll building at AP. This is play money to me and has no inclusion in my profit numbers.
I had no access to my pc so I fired Mrs Ryverrat's laptop for a little cash play and being only a 15" screen didnt want to play more than 2 tables. Full Tilt was already installed from years back so I opened up the lobby and thought to myself, if I am only playing 1 table I can concentrate a lot more on reads and specific players tendancies. Lets try higher....
I opened up a $1/$2 table and bought in for 100bb. I noticed a lot of cash on the table and after a few rounds saw that I had joined a $1/$2 (deep) table. The guy to my right was heavy stacked so I upped mine to 200bb just in case.
The very next hand....

Not knowing the players at this level I want to analyse this a little better. I can be looked at KK vs AA, boring shut up and move on. But we are 200bb deep. I dont normally play deepstack poker.
Preflop UTG+1 bets, I 3 bet, and he 4 bets. Surely AA,KK ? being this deep does anyone do this with AKs or QQ ? If I 5 bet surely I am saying I have AA and there is a chance he will fold here right ? 5 betting = AA 90% of the time against an unknown ? I elected to call.
I think his half pot bet standard here, if I check raise pot size am i screaming QQ, AQ, KQs ? I felt a min raise will look a little fishy here and also set up a nice river bet that not out of proportion to the pot. Was the min raise right?
I was always betting the river here and if he has any Q then so be it as I wouldnt be folding if i let him bet first.
This hand may have been a straightforward play but I am at a higher level than I normally play $50NL or $100nl and im 200bb deep. For anyone that plays these games please comment as I felt a little out of my depth here from what im used to.
Please comment.
