Poor Play w/A-A?---What Would You Do?
This is a B&M 2-5 NL Game.....
The night already sucked, and I was stuck about $800 at the time. I had Q-Q three times before this hand: won the blinds once ($7), lost to a river gutshot ($275), and in a cruel little twist of fate, was up against A-A, K-K the last time, though I was able to lay it down pre-flop before it got too crazy (-$150). Here's the hand in question: Hero A-A Behind 2 limpers, I make it $30 (standard), villain makes it $75, I raise to $150, villain calls. 2 players. Pot ~ $300 Flop: As-Ts-7s I think about this for a minute and decide I'd be happy taking it down right now, so I push (~$800 - villain has me covered). I figure if I'm up against Ks-Kx, Qs-Qx, or even Ad-Ks, I don't want to mess around and risk getting drawn out on. If villain has two spades already, then I'm going to pay him off. Also, I figure I really can't size the bet in any way that denies his implied odds. Villain folds and makes some smartass comment about me not knowing how to play what was obviously A-A. I don't show, don't reply, and drag the pot, a bird in the hand and all of that B.S. What would you have done? |

Reraise more on top of his reraise. Your reraise is horrible since you are letting him draw to set. You were deep stack right? What were stacks?
I would rather lead weak or check. Make it look like you have QQ/KK. EDIT: I didn't see it was monotone board. Yeah pushing is good. |

Re: Poor Play w/A-A?---What Would You Do?
Sorry, I forgot to mention a couple of things:
- I'm play with this guy frequently, and he is a decent LAG type. His min-raise has the familiar feel of trying to snap off a bluff, and I figure if he doesn't have K-K or Q-Q, he is going to lay it down to a re-raise. I have seen him make this play with air, and though he could flop a set, I'm hoping to get a little more out of him after a favorable flop. Against another player at the table, I would have re-raised. To answer your question, we both had ~$1000. |
