why? he posted in the cutoff. i can think of a lot of hands that i'd call with in that spot.

Because he gets to put in 2 bets to win a 5.5 sb pot in position HU. I mean, isn't it worth 3betting any 2 here? I think I read a Mattros article about this a while ago.

edit: I guess the fact that this is unclear means my read sucks. I wasn't trying to argue that villain has AA here. I was actually sort of seguing into a hijack on preflop play, which I guess is a sucky thing to do. OK, off to the search function for me.

There are all kinds of hands where calling after posting in the CO will be the best play. Having position on a TAG who can make some folds will allow you to play a pretty wide range when it is only one more bet. Things like small suited connectors/gappers that play decently multiway won't really want to get it HU with the best hand or reopen the betting since a good player will be aware of what is happening and should widen his capping range.
