[100nl] AA facing huge flop raise, shove or fold?
 

Unknown villain, no stats, he is 1-tabling. I pretty much have to shove or fold here right? Which would you opt for?

I hate this spot...With an unknown villain it makes it a tougher call. However, I've noticed that when someone is only single tabling that they are more often a worse player than someone playing 4 tabling (that might just be an awful/irrelevant/variant observation by me).
It's a tough call. I'd fold it often just because we haven't seen him play enough, but if I was having a bad day I'd probably push and then cuss at my mom upttairs.

There are too many overpairs and flush draws with overcards that you have beat. He would probably flat call a flopped joint or maybe even a set. Single tablers are generally impatient in contrast to others so he could even be raising 77/88. I vote shove.

It has to look blatant you have a very strong overpair, yet he doesn't seem to care. In fact, his bet looks sized for you to reraise all-in. You holding the Ace diamonds strongly cuts down on the possibility he's being aggressive with a flush draw. So what are you beating? KK and QQ *maybe*. Most likely he's hit a set. I'd fold unless I had a good reason to think he was an awful player, or was on tilt [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Or he's thinking 'I put him on AK.' It's a random unknown at 100 NL. He's a spazztard until proven otherwise IMO.

Well, I did say I'd fold unless I had good reason to think he was awful...so I guess I give a lot more respect to unknowns than you! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I dissagree with that. Hero's bet could just as easily be overcards, it's just a standard CB.

Still, it's a tough dessicsion OOP against a complete unkown. Real tough.

Don't like stacking off against an unkown, but without knowing how he plays there could still be a lot of hands we beat here.

LOL, not much help, sorry.

I'm a little confused as to where you are getting this read from. What about preflop raise in MP and c-bet reduces his range to KK+?

Yeah, shove is probably the best action, just hate doing it blind.
The fact that I stacked off in similar possitions a couple times yestreday is probably afecting my thought process.
