Default Re: FS: Crying call correct? Play flop differently?

pay attention to the villian's stack size, if you are making that bet, you might as well shove. You forced him into pushing no matter what the turn is. Maybe that's your plan, but I read what you wrote, that's definitely not it. I mean you make this bet on the flop, if he reraise you all in, you are calling anyways right? So the question here is, what are you trying to do by raise? value? bluff? test the waters? If it's value, any decent player would probably fold on a raise that takes more than half of their stack or go all in if he calls.

Also, the way you are playing here, you have already decided you will call/go all in no matter what happens on the flop. AA is strong but it's a very vulnerable hand, it's not a hand you want to play blindly on the flop. Biggest mistakes by a lot of decent players is that they overplay these high pockets when they have obviously told everyone their hole cards on the flop. Villians will know how to play them perfectly. Hence this is why these same hands are often unprofitable because you win small and lose big.
