Paul Wasicka's AA fold in HSP

[donkey]

no one who claimed they'd fold AA here would actually do it

[Daut44]

shane i actually prefer a minraise or some smallish raise to calling. i would hate to see a 6 way turn with AA here, which could very easily happen if someone holds hearts, someone 35, another 87 (double gutty), and other random holdings like middle pair etc, but i wouldnt want to put in a lot to cut down the action.

i think this is an option and people are being results oriented about it, but the more i think about it, i think the fold is good just to avoid [censored] spots in the future at a tough table.

Strongly disagree. I think most good players are aware of how difficult it is to show a profit in these situations.

Would people fold if they had the Ah?

i'm not necessarily saying it's a bad fold, i just think literally 0 people who said they would fold in this thread actually would have (including you).

i would have called. i think its trivially easy to show a profit by calling the flop here and not sucking at playing the rest of the hand. and i'm basing this on how good i think the other players in the pot are + how passive everyone on the show has been playing draws/basically any hands on the turn+river.

and of course, all the results-oriented fishies who think it's a great fold, would be trashing wasicka as a weak/tight nit if brunson has AT and wins a big pot from farha or elezra's JT/other garbage.

Todd leads better than a pair here like never?

I think OOP and with a strong hand, you'd need to bet out against the flush and straight draws. Or atleast C/R, but that's never a guarantee.

Why wouldn't he lead out with better than a pair?

[creedofhubris]

I think folding, calling, and raising are all reasonable based on your read on the sb.

my default fwiw with AT+ in his spot is raise the flop, if someone 3bets behind its an easy muck with anything smaller then bottom set (how can he have two pair here?) or a big draw (NFD or gutshot+flush) and then in position it depends on the turn card but generally check behind and call a river bet or value bet (on some rivers)
