Hero raises to T4000. You have to pop him on the flop.

This player is not going to come over the top without the best hand. If you just call, and he bets the turn you will have to call and be committed to the hand without ever knowing where you are at.

Raising to 4K is a reasonable way to play it, but I am not folding AA period with these stack sizes, this board, and late position action. I may or may not get all the money in on the flop or turn, but I am not folding aces here at any point in this hand.

The only hands that are ahead of you or KQ, 44, KK, and QQ. Now I am pushing with all of these against a late position raise from a loose big stack. It is particularly unlikely he would flat call with QQ. It is certainly possible that villain flat called with a hand that is ahead of AA, but not particularly likely.

Leading into the raiser is a standard play with 2-pair or a set. However, he could also have a K or Q and want to see where he stands. It could be a bluff, hoping hero has a pp or ace and missed the flop.

Hero panicked playing a hand against the other big stack.
