$50nl; 2 very different AA hands
 

Here's 2 hands with AA that I was unsure about today. Thoughts appreciated.

HAND 1:

Villain is 14/12/2 standard and solid, but not good TAG. Haven't seen him make any big plays. Mt image is pretty similar.

HAND 2:

BB is 22/14/5 over 100 hands. Seems quite good postflop, has won some nice pots by being aggressive with some good hands.

UTG is 34/10/0.5. He is a table coach and very loose-passive, I have seen him stack off his 2 pair to an obvious flush.

Both hands very well played.

1. He almost always has either AK or AA, way more combinations of AK, so i like.

2. UTG's actions scream set. Limp-call from UTG, cold call on the flop. IMO this a set like 90 % of the time.
Sometimes i talk myself into that BB is raising with a lower overpair and UTG is calling with draw and then push. However, i always regret this afterwards, because it's almost always a set. lol

I_HATE_TIHSKID; those are exactly my thoughts for both hands.

Having thought some more about it I am happy with both these hands, I was just annoyed as they both happened within 5 minutes of each other and I was wrong for both. In hand 1 villain had KK. In hand 2 BB had QQ and UTG had J8s for the flush draw and they got it all in on the turn.

I like hand 1.

In hand 2 BB is almost never raising with a lower overpair, this is almost always a set/drawing hand (if he's confident enough in his postflop game to call your pfr), and UTG can have anything. Fold is fine.
