Yeh i agree, it'd take me hours to get reads for all hands its safe to asume most of the players sucked.

It doesn't take that long to get reads if you're paying attention. It's fairly safe to assume that they all suck, but what you really need to know is exactly how they suck - eg do they overplay weak hands, slowplay when they shouldn't, pay too much to draw, fold too easily, bluff too much, plus how's their betsizing and what does it mean.


On the AA hand, I wouldn't usually fold this. There's not that many hands I'm worried about and I have a decent draw against some of them. A lot depends on reads (ie his calling range and what he makes a minraise on the flop with) and also your table image - if you're perceived as bluffing a lot of c-bets and folding to minimal heat and so on - and your history with this particular player. Some players I'd reraise, others I'd call and reevaluate the turn. I'm almost never folding this to a minraise when I only bet out 2/3 pot to start with.
