    Ok I figure he has the A and probably a decent kicker with his bet.

    *** TURN *** [2s]

    That cannot possibly help him.

    must***5: calls 3,005
    must***5: shows [Ah Qs]
    ND1991: shows [7h 3c]

    So he has 2 aces, 3 queens, and 3 2s (8 outs). Other than my pre-flop call, I would say I did okay and am now ALL-IN and about an 84% favorite.

    DOH!!!

    blinds are just not worth playing those hands that early

    Not sure what your thinking here. Ax and flush draws wont be folding to the min raise.
    *** TURN *** [2]

    That cannot possibly help him.
    with the 2s, imagine a hand like AX spades on top of the diamond draw or A2 where now your drawing to a full house.

    your 82% favorite, but can you honestly feel bad for being knocked out early pushing all-in with 73o?

    Deepstack with blinds at first level ...if your think its possible you might play like this again, I suggest registering, taking your seat and then walking away or auto fold for a couple levels. It gets rid of those Arag donks and you can always go back to hand history to see how others are playing.

    I hate when you hit this kind of hand in the big blind.

    It's hard to get away from but it's best to keep the pot small and you can easily fold if another 2 hits to give any Ace a better 2 pair.

    It's never good to play these rag hands and now you know why!!

    Oh I posted this hoping to help others. I normally play much tighter and avoid hands like this for the exact reason above. This was not meant to sound like complaining or demonstrating good play or a bad beat.

    I was foolish here the whole way through and only posted in the hope to help others :-)

    LOL, I didn't think you played these kind of hands all the time.

    It just reminded me of times when I flopped 2 pair in the bb and played it aggressively.

    Don't have a HH to post but I had 34 in the bb.

    Flop 34Q

    Guy has QJ and bets, I raise, he goes all in

    Turn 2

    River 2 (why is it always the 2s?)

    It's best to keep the pot small by just calling the bet and see what develops.
