What to do with AA

[DrewDevil]

Live 2/5 NL game. I have AA on the button.

Raise to $25 from MP, I just call.

Flop J 6 6 rainbow. MP bets $60, I have $260 behind and have MP covered.

I ???

easy fold, given preflop his range is obv polarized towards JJ or 6x.

Next?

Quit poker? You're 55 deep and get about the best possible flop for your hand. geesh. If you shove AJ,QQ,KK and maybe KJ call. Or you can just call and definitely get action from all of the above assuming a K or A doesn't fall.

Wow you guys are dicks.

I shoved, MP folded QQ. Wondered if I should have bet less.

Entirely possible this is the worst post ever. I don't even know where there's a question here.

3 bet preflop. I understand disguising your hand, but you are offering the blinds a decent price to stick around. People in live 2/5 aren't folding their hand very often once they open for $25.

Flop, I'm not really sure how you could bet less, planning on making it $150 and leaving yourself $110? There's almost no hand he's going to call a raise like this with that he won't call it all. If you shoved and he folded QQ, so be it, he made a good laydown, not much else you could do.

3bet preflop is by far the best play calling is terrible

on the flop is any easy spot to call again with only 260 behind and a drawless board.

I'm not sure if OP or the first reply gets "worst post of the year".

Reraise to at least $75, maybe even $100 preflop. Basically, depending on the nature of the game and the player, reraise as much as he'll most likely call.

As played, you beat everything in his likely hand range except JJ (and an unlikely, tricky 6xs connector), but the pot is still too small to just push. So, do you call or raise?

If you think this guy would only c/f with AQ/AJ on the turn if you were to call on the flop, then make a big raise on the flop. He'll give you action with AJ/QQ/KK, but you're not getting more out of any hands that missed, like AQ/AK. Be willing to call a push if you think he does that with AJ, JJ (and a tricky 6xs), QQ, and KK. FWIW, reraising preflop would have eliminated the 6xs from his likely range.

However, *if* you are pretty certain that he double barrels any time you float his cb (i.e. he will bet the turn if you call the flop with AK/AQ/AJ/JJ/QQ/KK/ATC), then you might float the cb planning to raise his second barrel. That way you get another bet out of AK/AQ. But you need to be sure that second barrel is coming.

Reraise pf is the best by far.
