Stars 150 - Early AA, reraised on A-high flop and?
 

Hey guys,

This is a hand that happened early in the Stars 150, no real read on opponent yet. I'm wondering if you guys call and hop for a bluff on the turn, or just go ahead and jam it? I've only played a handle of $100+ tournaments, so I'm not sure what the best way to extract chips is,any insight is real appreciated.

think for a bit then call... he'll probably jam any turn.

Call. If he has an A/set, you're stacking him anyways. If you 3 bet here, he folds his bluffs and probably his Ks, and he'll call w/ a flush draw, so you're no worse than if you call here and call any turn bet regardless of the turn card's suit (not that you should/shouldn't call a bet on a diamond turn).

Re: Stars 150 - Early AA, reraised on A-high flop and?
 

shove.

sets are calling you anyway, bluffs aren't following through on the turn, and flush draws are going to get a free look at the river when they check behind vs your ever-so-sneaky c/r on the turn. plus, if a diamond hits, you lose action from something like AQ

Re: Stars 150 - Early AA, reraised on A-high flop and?
 

Jam now. He likes his hand. If he was raising a draw he would raise for maximum FE. I think you're about to stack AK or 55.

We have position. Does this change your answer?

Does SB really have AQ here? Hero raised 5xBB UTG. I think it's AK/KK/55 or nothing-- even I'm not calling JTdd or QJdd for 5x OOP unless we're really really deep.

While we're at it, what's with the 5xBB UTG raise?

I also think that the stack sizes here make it a pretty clear push. We can only raise another 700 since villan covers. That gives him almost 3.2 to 1 to call. I suspect that some other random K's etc. may call besides the obvious hands like AK or 55.

There is 1500 in the pot after you call and you have 700 left. Pretty clear push. He will call. I wouldn't necessarily put villain on a big hand. He may have an ace or a flush draw.

You have to push here. No matter what happens you are going to get your chips in the middle. You can't fold (you have the nuts right now) and calling pot committs you anyway. Pushing MAY push out flush draws, but more than likely you will get called if he is raising.
