Re: Pocket-rockets suck AAs

So I play in this 60-man tourney tonight. Of the 3 people who know how to play poker at my table, I lasted the longest. In the end, we were no match against the 6 calling stations... Anyway, I come home and decide to play online for a bit to convince myself that I know how to play poker.

Oh, have I ever mentioned that I hate AA?

How about calling stations?
And that I can never beat a calling station holding QJ when I have AA?
Just checking...

Yep, it's the old "call to the river against a TAG with top-pair-bad-kicker and suck-out on the river" play! Classic. There goes 45 minutes of profit at that table...

On a more serious note, please help me out with the following hand. In particular, was it a mistake to call the all-in, rather than push behind? In hindsight it seems obvious, but I called to maximize the probability of keeping the other player in the hand, given I was holding the nuts at the time... but as we all know, the nuts can (and often does) change on the river.
