Reraise pre-flop?

If you want to bluff at this, push the turn. Too easy for him to put you on a FD, or an overpair, or even two pair that he has a chance to counterfeit.

I didn't push the turn because if I actually had a straight, I wouldn't have pushed. I was trying to bet the amount I would have bet if I had a straight; it seemed like a more convincing bluff that way.

It was a relatively cheap bet to call relative to the pot.

SSNLers dont think like that. They think "ooo! it's cheap to call!"

If you really must bluff at this pot, set it up so that your turn bet is a potsized push.

If you're going to checkraise, checkraise more.

The reason we call for set value in full ring is because we hope overpairs can't fold, particularly AA.

You managed to play every street incorrectly, that's pretty cool.

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:

1. Deep stack, it would be best have the same or bigger stack than Villain. And in your hand, it would be best if you have $170. At least you would have to have full stack, which is $100.

2. Your flop raise is okay if you are trying to represent a set or drawing a straight or flush.

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.

As played, you were a short stack, and the way you bet you were never going to make him lay down his AA.

I certainly thought about reraising preflop, but I thought since I was out of position I would take a look at the flop and check-raise it if it looked good..

In any case, if I did reraise, I'm not sure I could have folded to a four-bet considering my stack size.
