HU NL 1/2 AA vs loose player

[NL Hustler]

hi guys

this player is very loose always minraising on the button and call any re-raise PF. the hand plays as follows.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (2 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($230.70)
Hero ($259.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A.
[color=#CC3333]Button raises to $5</font>, Hero calls $2.

Flop: ($9) 2, 6, 8 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
Hero checks, [color=#CC3333]Button bets $4</font>, Hero calls $4.

Turn: ($17) K [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
Hero checks, [color=#CC3333]Button bets $8</font>, Hero calls $8.

River: ($33) 5 [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
Hero checks, [color=#CC3333]Button bets $32</font>, Hero calls $32.

Final Pot: $97

I didnt want to play too big a pot cuz he could have anything. he has shown down 10-4 9-3 and other garbage hands, so i decided to play it passively and let him bet at the pot. Any advice on how to play AA vs this kind of opponent would be great.

open shove preflop. /thread

Seriously though:

1) 3-bet preflop. Get as much money in as you can against this guy with AA.
2) Raise some street. Probably turn or river. Bet sometime? I'm not sure what the optimal play here is when you flat call aces here, but I'm fairly sure it isn't c/c c/c c/c. Especially on the river, very few draws got there (97, that's about it). You might be up against 2 pair, but this guy might call with a naked K, or even worse.

If he's calling any reraise PF, make it 25 (or 30, or 40) when it comes back to you. He'll call. This is your dream scenario with AA, and not 3-betting against villain as described is criminal.

Postflop you could raise any street and it'd be just fine. I assume villain was not just betting w/ crap postflop, but calling with weak hands as well? You're miles ahead of his range - you just have to get more money in the pot. Raise the flop, turn, or river - just raise somewhere. I don't see how you can get through this whole hand without raising if he's going to call a raise with like 63 on the river.

I'm not trying to sound mean here, but if you're not willing to play a big pot with AA against this guy, HU is probably not the game for you (at least at 1/2). Maybe you should move down a level or two and get your feet wet (and see how wide ranges are) for a bit.

lol @ this hand.

Reraise preflop, wtf were you thinking just calling, the guy is a station.

As played raise flop, drawy board and guy is a station.

As played raise turn, drawy board and guy is a station and he's never folding K,8,99+.

As played call river.

I used to play cute like this then I realized it was probably costing me 50BBs or so each time....

i know i was playing weak. but i left out that he never bets all streets unless he has a hand. when i called river he flipped over 62.
