Spew with AA?
 

Can't remember the exact details and no reads, but ..

Pokerroom .15/.25, five-handed. Hero in SB with AA, Villain in BB, both have about $25.

Pre-flop: UTG and CO limp, Button folds, Hero raises to $1, BB, UTG and CO all call.

Flop: 882 r

UTG checks, CO checks, Hero bets $2.5, BB bets $10, UTG, CO both fold and ... Hero shoves.

Limit instincts affecting my game. In the absence of a good read this is terrible, terrible spew, right?

preflop raise to 1.5$

and yes it is =)
if he is not bluffing, probably has the 8 if he raises in a multiway-pot.

No I don't agree.

On a rainbow board with no draws hes very likely going to flat call if he has a very strong hand like 22 or 8x.

I push expecting his range to include 55-JJ

Re: Spew with AA?
 

Easy push here.

I expect any 8 to slowplay.
He has an overpair here, if he calls.

Re: Spew with AA?
 

Raise more preflop, and the stackoff is fine. The mistake is not in stacking off, its with not raising enough preflop. 8x is pretty much a cooler as far as I'm concerned, even if we just call the 3bet, why fold the turn? Pretty standard.

Don't push the flop. Call, and let him hand himself on the turn. You might fold out hands he would push himself on the river.

Re: Spew with AA?
 

I call flop. If he leads turn, I shove.

Re: Spew with AA?
 

I think lot of PPs are happy to stack off against us here. If we only call flop, do you think villain will feel comitted even if scare card (K/Q)hits on turn?
