Re: Slow Dance
The X-Man strikes again (if my guess on villain's identity is correct). I would imagine him holding AA or 99 here over 90% of the time with a small chance of 44. As played he's in a tough spot. How is he supposed to maximum value with his hand given his opponent? I wonder what range of hands he put you on and what he wanted to accomplish with his 3-bet. Perhaps he thought he was only going to get paid with a smaller set and that there was a good chance you go into call down mode.
I think he just got screwed and was unlucky that you were the one to get AK. If someone else got it, X would have been able to check into the check raise hotel preflop and probably the double up express on the flop. I will never pay him off though, it would be a crime.

Re: Slow Dance
Yeah, vs. a guy like this description this is totally standard for me. He doesn't have AQ.
But yeah X is a total nit and min3betting AA into a tight opponent on an A94r board is lol.

Re: Slow Dance
Honestly the action in this hand is a total joke right? Are you guys good players? I thought Angelo had some respect around here.
What kinda game is that when AA opens for $20, a flat call with AK on button. Then a minibet, a mini raise, and another miniraise on the flop??? Wow.

This game has been playing huge. Even though the blinds are $5-5-10, the stacks are mostly in the 4K to 10K range, and the chips are very much in motion. 10K wins and losses are common. I know that sounds kind of crazy given the blinds and all, but that's the way it is. What exists is a huge difference in looseness/recklessness and tightness/caution between the loose-reckless players and the tight-cautious players. And then among the tight-cautious players, there's the half a dozen who play super tight-cautious all the time no matter what, and then there's a dozen guys like me who can play exactly as safe as the constant tighties do when it's just us, but who open up considerably preflop when a loose player or two is already in the pot. This makes for lots and lots of big pots, especially when things happen like AA vs AK with an ace-rag-rag-rainbow flop. So when those cards happen, and a big pot DOESN'T happen, well that's when I figure it's something to write home about! Tommy
