deep AA faces flop minraise
 

Villain is 48/6.3/2.6. The only note I have on him is that he donked KJ into the preflop raiser in a four way pot on a QQ9 flush draw board, then check/called down when he hit a king on the turn. I have seen him being fairly aggro against other players and obviously he can bluff as well as get lots of value from his hands.

A minraise is usually a fairly strong hand in my experience, but it's player dependent and I'm not ready to give him credit yet I don't think. Still, because we are fairly deep I'm unsure of the best plan for the rest of the hand.

I might like min raise river for value.

Re: deep AA faces flop minraise
 

hmm yea i think you will run into QQ and AJ a lot here, if he was on a set you'd think he'd go a little stronger at least on river.

problem with minraising river, though i generally like the idea, is that it gives you sick odds if he shoves, so you really want to have a good read on his shoving range one way or another. I think calling down is pretty reasonable.

Re: deep AA faces flop minraise
 

Shove river. Unless he's really bad he mostly just has air or like AJ here. His bet sizing leads me to believe he doesn't have a set, but I think he calls with worse/folds enough to make a shove EV+

i dont think hes folding better ever to a river shove

i like how it's played. i really wanna know what he's got, would rather see sd then go for thin value.

Re: deep AA faces flop minraise
 

its very read-dependend wether u should raise the rive rfor value here. his river bets looks def weak but it could def be a strong thats afraid to lose value.

but i am pretty sure one-pair-hands make up a huge % of his range here and hes never folding AJ, QQ to a minraise on the river.

calling and taking a note looks good too...

Re: deep AA faces flop minraise
 

I think your stack size is about borderline where you start not wanting to stack off. If shorter you def want to raise the turn and get it in, I think the way you played it is ok though
