Default Re: Do most .5/1 players fold Aces here?

It is very hard to make NL100 people to fold aces. If you are sure villain is a very good player that can lay down AA, you have to do these:

1. Deep stack, it would be best have the same or bigger stack than Villain. And in your hand, it would be best if you have $170. At least you would have to have full stack, which is $100.

2. Your flop raise is okay if you are trying to represent a set or drawing a straight or flush.

3. You push on turn your remaining $83 (assuming you only have $100 to start) into the $34.5 pot. Even better if you have $170 to start, just push the remaining $153 onto the $34.5 pot. This would probably make him lay down AA since the flop is very scary and he is not commited yet.

As played, you were a short stack, and the way you bet you were never going to make him lay down his AA.
