playing AA vs. an unknown.

[milesdyson]

1/2 absolute early at the table. never seen the guy.

i raise aces UTG, one coldcaller, BB 3-bets, i cap, caller does his duty

flop TT8r
he bets, i raise, dude folds, he 3-bets, i cap

turn 7
he bets, i raise, he 3-bets, i cap

river 7 (no flush)
he bets, i call

I wouldn't cap the turn without a read. Three bets on the turn is enough for me v. an unknown.

wow, would an unknown 3-bet AT? that's the question. We have to rule out TT & probably 88 on math. You are unknown to him too, so he has to figure what your capping pre-flop means--unless he's a total donk. I'm probably calling the turn 3-bet and calling river.

[afk]

I like it. Alternatively I'll just call the flop 3bet so I can raise the turn if I think I'll kill my action capping the flop.

[milesdyson]

ok, so bad beat in disguise or whatever, he had 88.

[MrWookie]

Without a better read, you have to give some probability to 88 and AT (KT?). The turn bet really suggests that he's got something better than KK. I call down from there.

Edit: "turn bet" should read "turn 3bet"

[MacGuyV]

C'mon your name's in green - you can't be results oriented. I can see slowing down after the turn 3bet.

Should villian C/R the turn, river, or both?

[milesdyson]

i dont know. when a complete unknown is playing like this it's hard to say how far to go. just the fact that they are going crazy indicates that they're more likely to be a maniac than someone playing more passively.

i think just calling the turn 3-bet is right.
