AA on same-suit board

giant sand · #1 11-09-2006, 06:45 PM

The guy is 47/23/2.25 after 80 hands.

I thought about raising the flop, but he has me covered and I don't want to play for stacks here (or should I?). Anyone call this River?

Reraise flop to 22% if you get called or raised you fold or go c/f unless you get the odds.

I think I raise and play for stacks on the flop. Maybe that's bad. Do you think he always has a flush here?

I think you played this fine if you had called the river. As it were you played this silly weak. It would have been better to get all in on the flop than to play it this weak (actually it would not have been that bad to play for stacks on the flop anyhow, but i think most worse hands/draws would fold anyhow).

So you want to turn AA into a total bluff?

I missed your read. How in the world do you fold to a 43/30 ever in with AA? The only reason I think raising the flop might be bad is you blow him off his Q7 or whatever he has..

As played, i lean towards a valuecall on the river, but thats because i pay everyone off nowadays. that jack is gross. i like a PSR on flop. and then the hand plays itself much easier, youre not playing a guessing game as the caller.

Getting Villain to fold two pair is hardly a bad result.

Maybe you misread the board?

I normally make it 7 or 8 preflop OTB no limpers

raise flop

raise turn

call river
