Re: AA facing heat
 

Villain has a set like 90% of the time here.

Re: AA facing heat
 

I called.

Villan is a TAG. He's on alot of my tables, he's pretty aggro and has been active at this table. He's gotten his stack from isolating this retard, I've gotten mine from 2 large hands (AA on blank board played for stacks and a set v. a 50bb stack).

I don't have a great read on his specific tendencies, he seems to be semi-tricky. He probably views me as a Tighter TAG.

200NL 6max

$500 effective

PF: Hero opens $7 UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], all fold to villan in the SB who calls $6. BB dumps, HU to the flop.

($16) Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villan checks, Hero bets $13, Villan check/raises to $45, Hero calls $32.

($106) Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villan bets $88, Hero calls $88

($282)River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villan bets $200, I fold. eh?

Actually, I was villan. I was planning on making a thread from the opposite point of view to see how people would gauge their reactions differently (ie. they would tell me my play was SPEW HE'S ALWAYS CALLING HERE) or something along those lines. I was actually bluffing and villan folded. nice.

I feel like I just painted some guys fence (both sides), house, washed his cars then got pissed off, then realised I learned something....

I don't even know what I just said..

Re: AA facing heat
 

i might call the turn if i think villain would follow up with a bluff.

i'd fold the river though.'

fwiw, slow playing strong hands against 2+2ers is so so +EV.

orange, is awear of your 3b range and how often would you be 3b here pf with 99-JJ?

i probably would not 3b much any of those. utg raise + deeper stacks + tighter player is meh. does he think i would 3-bet those hands? i'm not tremendously sure, but i think that he seems somewhat competent and can maybe handread a little?

Re: AA facing heat
 

If the villian really is that agressive, if you call the flop c/r I think you have to be prepared to call the turn as well. If he fires river you have to give him credit for a strong hand or a good bluff, either way it's time to let it go. More nitty opponents who don't follow up on their bluffs you should fold turn obv. It's just a tough spot to be in.

Nicely run bluff, I usually can't fire the third barrel because even though I know their range is limited I don't think, at this level, that any of them are good enough to lay down big overpairs.

Re: AA facing heat
 

This is a really tough spot. I'm not sure if it's true, but I have noticed some TAGs check-raising more random hands on the flop like low non-set pocket pairs after the W$WSF fad started. If you just fold flop you're obviously going to be getting bluffed a lot... if you call flop, he's probably firing turn with 90+% of his range.

so, call turn, fold river?
