AA top card on flop pairs on turn
 

Pokerstars $9 360 max tourny, dealt AA in middle position after one limper, about halfway through tourny, 2nd hour.
I have a bit of an aggressive table image because I have just been moved to this table and played 2 hands. No read on villain. Any thoughts?

You still beat a lot of hands that can call a shove. So Shove.

Agreed. Villain's range consists of a lot of pairs that we're beating. Expect to see 77-TT a lot (maybe even 44-TT, depending on the tourney). If villain had A9 this time, lucky him. Don't sweat it.

I'd raise a little more preflop to at least 600. You could either push turn or check with the intention of calling any bet on river. I'd prob just push turn, makes life easier in case 3rd club comes on river.

Im shoving here. I think your PFR would be good enough to get rid of A9 from the SB the majority of the time so the only hand I would worry about is the set. If he has the set .... well lifes a biatch.
