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

[ QUOTE ]
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:


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.

Betting $153 to win a $34.5 pot on a stone bluff seems absurd to me given the risk/reward ratio. It's not like I know he has aces. If I had a $170 stack, I would have bet the same 2/3 of the pot that I did with my stack. I don't see why the villain would be less likely to call a overbet, since if I have a straight, he would be drawing dead and forced to call a very large bet on the river.

Of course, having a larger stack size would have given me much better options on the river.
