Could you fold AA?
 

Could you ever fold AA in this situation? Villain is a solid player from what I could tell w/ just over 200 hands played with him. Poker tracker has him at 23/17 With only 1.4 flop agg. The stacks are deep.

Yeah, I can fold it.

Tough spot with AA.

Given your read (that he is a decent player, but not overly aggressive) and the stack sizes I probably fold here. I am not sure how weak-tight that is, but unless I have some outstanding read here that Villain is capable of this type of play with an overpair or AJ I can't get it in here.

The problem that I have here is that he cannot even be doing this with TP and a FD because the J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is on the board.

Will be interesting to see what type of feedback we get from the better players (better than me that is, which is not really tough haha).

I think it's a pretty easy fold. This guy's range is 100% sets and draws that you're flipping with.

We're not flipping with the draws -- we've got excellent equity against them. Much better than anyone with a draw expects. We're nearly 2-1 faves over the ones we expect.

Re: Could you fold AA?
 

Given stacks I think I prefer just calling this villain's lead. Certainly making that your standard play is too weak- we are looking to felt this hand against a lot of players, but I think this is a good spot for pot control/reeval turn. Yes there is a FD but really not that draw heavy a board. I think he has a set a ton here- he flatcalled from the SB which weights his range more towards a pair than SC's/suited aces. As played fold and if you are going to raise flop I like a slightly larger ~ potsized raise, maybe to 8 (although that is a lil tricky because quite quickly you get to the point where your raise size has put too much money in the pot for you to fold to a reraise).

This range is too tight. I don't know many 23/17's that would call a raise from the SB with small SCs like 54s.

Edit: Also, would villain lead the flop with his sets? My gut says no, he'll c/r or c/c because you're c-betting the flop 100% of the time.

Re: Could you fold AA?
 

Here is my issue with this: what does the villian call here with in the SB and then leads the flop? Whith a flop aggression like that, I can only really see the villian CRing the flop. I cant imagine that a flop is played this aggressive with a set here. I think that AJ or KJ is a much bigger part of his range. I stack off here almost every time.
