$50NL AA Hand - I feel sick

SamuraiDuck · #1 04-24-2006, 04:23 AM

Villain is 42/8/4.5 over 59 hands and frankly appears to be a big fish. I try not to make a habit of taking AA to the felt, but unfortunately this time I was OOP and the board was so draw heavy that I thought a bet on the flop and the turn were mandatory. I think the flop and turn play's are standard, but what is my line on the river? Check/call any reasonably small river bet? Or try for a smaller blocking bet? I mean all of the draws missed, so if villain was drawing then he will just check it down. Would anyone advocate c/f on the river if villain bets big?
Obviously my river bet was way too large, but I just quite frankly didn't know what to do. Comments on all streets, but most notably the river are appreciated [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

p.s. the results of this hand are laughable, I will post them later for the amusement of the forum.
