Default Re: AA interesting spot (3/6 NL)

I'm not folding yet, thats for sure.

Given the stack and fish situation he could easily be coldcalling with a wider range here, but AA is still AA, and unless he flopped a flush or a set you're still ahead. Much of his range will be things like KcK, QcQ, or even KK with no club.

So I think call, lead safe turn is a good plan. Although stack sizes aren't too good for either a medium lead or a shove. oh well, either works. you could even get tricky and check the turn to him. actually i kinda like that.

surely his range is still mostly big pairs, with the CC pre, right?

in a normal situation, i would call, and bomb a blank turn (most likely shoving)

here, I think it's a lot closer since it sucks to give up a big stack when you have the jesus seat on the megadonk with a big stack, and since apparently his CCing range is a bit wider, and contains a lot more hands that have us in bad->realbad shape

the fact that you lose so much future EV when you lose this pot might swing it to a fold

agreed. though i'm guessing i'd prolly end up calling and c/f turn.

seems like the only time you're ahead of CO is when he has KcKx / QcQx

i really dont mind a flop fold. im not sure everyone is remembering that the UTG donk folded and it's now back to Hero heads up vs the CO regular

point: if we stack CO we have enough chips to take on the donk's whole empire. perhaps that makes it worth our while to be optimistic?

do you think we EVER stack CO here?

unless he has specifically KK/QQ with a club and we fade, i dont see it happening. hes a TAG regular and we'd be showing an ass load of strength continuing with the hand here.

we don't need as many men as him since we're a better field general. We win a few skirmishes and we'll have same # of men.

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I shove all day. He can be isoraising really easily with a worse hand (you said donk was bad enough to call even this reraise on the flop really really thinly), or protecting a worse one.

why do you think shoving is > call/lead turn?

we are not way ahead of most of the hands in his range here, and our equity improves dramatically when we get it in on a blank turn

sometimes, we get blown off the best hand, when a club hits, but how often are we ahead here, when a club hits, anyway?
