Re: $109s Stupid Preflop AA Question
[ QUOTE ]
I find it interesting that I'm getting fairly varied answers from respected posters, and with no real reasoning behind any of it. I'm aware reasoning here is kind of weird because it's such a simple hand and our opponents give us little information, but if people could elaborate and there thought process a little more here, that would be great.
The other alternative is wait for Curtains to post and follow him blindly.

making it 350 is reraising to just over the pot size. this is optimal. you are forcing your opponents to make a mistake by calling such a big raise and this will likely thin the field to just 1 or 2 callers from my experience. raising to 500 bloats the pot and doesnt allow a whole lot of room to escape if something happens, i feel like its spewing just a bit. shoving i just dont think gets called enough to be profitable and i dont know if the pot is big enough to warrant just ending it now by shoving. finally, by making it 350 you do all of the above and make the pot big enough that you can get it AI and allow TP/other random draw or hand to pay you off on the flop where the pot IS big enough to warrant pushing, but not so big that you cant get away from a terrible flop or heavy action where its clear youre beat.
also, curtains told me to post this [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
