AA hand first level Irish Open
 

Irish Open Main Event. €3500 buyin. 10,000 starting stack. 1hr levels.

Level 1. TV table (so eight handed). I have circa 7,600 chips after failing to get a squeeze through an orbit and a half ago. I was called down and had to declare King high on an Ace high board (I received a crying call by AJ).


Anyway, I get two black Aces in mid position. Folded to me, I make it 175 to play. Button (14000ish) is the only caller.

This dude has been heavily involved from the start. His bet sizing has not been optimal and he has been forced to show down a couple of mad hands. An example of his random play is when he was second to act in a hand and made it 1,000 to play (20x BB)after first to act had limped in. Needless to say - he wasn't called.


Pot (425)

Flop: 345 rainbow


I lead out for 350. He shrugs his shoulders and raises, making it 3350 to go. He then picks a spot on the table, folds his arms and stares.

I have exactly 7,000 chips behind. Understand that calling is not an option.

I study him for 3 or 4 minutes and he does not make direct eye contact. Eventually he calls clock.

Shove or fold?

Shove, he has 66 obv

Re: AA hand first level Irish Open
 

What hand could he have here? If he's flopped a set he's not likely to raise such a stupid amount like that, same if he had a straight (tho A2 or 67 seem unlikely holdings). The hands he'd raise with you have beat IMO. In the range of KK-22 and probably not including 33-55. I agree 66 is a likely holding. You have to shove here.

Feels like 66-99. I would just shove it in.

Everything you've just described, from his ridiculous raise to his strong = weak tell, say that he's begging for you to fold. He could have a lot less than 66. Your image from your failed squeeze helps too. Shove.
