.50/$1 NL holdem

ive got $82

im under the gun, get dealt AA.

I make it $3 to go.

3 callers pot $12

flop: 9d Qc 2c

i bet $8

fold, raise to $25, fold...$45 in the pot Myself and the raiser both have about $74

what do you do?

*note* this is RUSH poker on Full Tilt, so there is no read on any of the players.

I read him on top pair or a pair with flush draw. I don't see any other hands you can get away from (ie if he has trips or Q9 or something what can you do?)

Call or raise I think you are in that pot either way.

I call but don't see folding

I assume you got smacked?

Honestly, with that flop, 9, Q, 2, unless they have pocket pair, you're looking good. If you're club suited with either of your aces, you're looking even better. I would call to see the turn and go from there.

Go all in

this is what i did. Dont see how i cannot call. And if i just call, and he is on a draw, i give him another card and a chance to draw out.

if i call, there would be $75 in the pot at that point.

anyway, he insta-calls and turns over 2 deuces.

Early position sucks....

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
