too many ugly turn cards, shovem, stack TT. Or get stacked by 88. He can have big hearts too; your not holding the ace is probably good here, even though it takes away a bd draw vs sets.

My thought here is that the BB is more likely calling a Pot-sized PFR with 55-88 than suited connectors, since SCs are so much harder to play OOP. That said, 87 has me beat and hands like 98 and 76 are virtual coin-flips. TT-KK probably re-raises PF, and those are about the only hands that I want to see here.

I saw this as most likely a CF/WB (coin flip or way behind) situation and folded. I also had reservations about stacking off this deep with a hand that can easily be read as an overpair.

The implication, of course, is that by folding I give the BB probably more FE than he deserves - making it a strong play from the BBs POV when you know that the PFRer is capable of folding a large overpair. (Also note that calling the PFR with a hand like ATs-AKs from the BB is probably stronger than you might think because you are encouraging a multi-way flop by giving odds to the limpers behind you. ATF, a CR represents a set, or you can semi-bluff if you catch a decent flop. There's also the possibility that LP is raising light and/or C-betting with whiffed overcards.)

Thoughts on the fold or thoughts on calling a PSR from the BB with hands like ATs/AJs early on?

I'm not sure your line is clearly enough an overpair that you should fold here. You've raised a couple of limpers and then c-bet - I don't think your range is much narrower on the flop than it was before. He can easily have a smaller and connected underpair or big hearts.

Bingo. Plus various retards with sets flat call this flop way to much despite its texture.

Okay, it doesn't seem like anybody wants to fold here. If that is the case, wouldn't it be better to peel one and then jam on any non-heart? Thoughts on this line?

why bet the pot... thats giving away ur hand and asking to get stacked. I prefer a check or a bet of about 200. Makes ur decisions much easier

havent we pretty much announced our hand as strong overpair here? and we're still getting check raised even after we PSB it?

i think LLJones is a regular (the name is familiar to me anyway) so i don't mind a fold here at all and im usually not one to fold AA in tourneys.
