50NL: I have to have aces to do this right?

[kewl_cph]

Villian is a good player. Tight and aggressive.
I don't actually don't remember him 3-betting me preflop before.
I find these 50NL games at B2B to be very tough (compared to other 50NL games).

The way I play the hand I felt I had to go for the CRAI.
I know this is kinda crazy, but when you assume the villian is sane, has a very narrow 3-betting range and didn't 5-bet me preflop, he has to think he's beat right?

Well, it felt kinda crazy although I think it was the play to make. I was glad I was able to pull it off.

Comments appreciated.


EDIT:
Bonus hand http://www.pokerhand.org/?926337
Those fours sure looked like black aces to me.
Is this good play or just donkey luck?

If he is "tight" he calls your 4bet pf with QQ+ and maybe AK. I don´t think he folds QQ often on the flop, he is getting a fantastic price, so my guess is you pushed him off the chop.

hand 1: how about a c/c on teh flop and push teh turn. your ahead a lot if not always in that spot so its about extraction. a sane player is NOT going to call a c/r more frequently than he will call a bet.


EDIT: lame, i misread your hand as AA. i dont really like 4 betting with AK. pushing is a different story but 4 betting is bad IMO. once u 4 bet your pretty much running a bluff so the c/r all in is the only way to go to get a fold.

hand 2: villain bets small on the river. do u have a read that says he will fold to a raise? its got merit but vs most nl50 donks i think its -EV.

check FOLD teh flop with AK....also, shove PF if you're gonna do stupid moves like this postflop
