50NL: AA w/ awkward stacks

[SirFelixCat]

Are you guys 4-betting KK or QQ here? I'm thinking yes on the KK, but no on the QQ?

[Gustav]

I would 4 bet with JJ+ and AK against a shortstacked unknown.

I dont think pf is terrible, but it shouldnt be your standard play. I'd play this hand soft bc I'm never thinking about folding. I check the flop, hopefully CO cbets it, if he does, I just call hoping that MP comes along. On the turn I'd check again and let CO bet, if he bets, I crai and if he checks, I open shove river. If the flop checks through, lead 2/3 pot on the turn.

Id probably make a small 4bet to $15, just to induce the push from CO. A big 3bet like this from a shortstack means he wants to play. However you havent played this terribly, its just not what I would do.

As played I like the lead here, We can check and let CO cbet, but the point is that any hand he bets on this flop hes at least calling our bet with, if not pushing over the top anyway. Given that there are two people behind you it would be a disaster to have this checked through.

2 schools of thought, on this one, you can just call behind, as when the king flops you would have lost all your money to KK anyway had you got it in pre. If you going ot lead a dry flop I would have 4 bet pre.

4 bet this every time, as played pot flop, call an AI.

I'm with Gustav, 4 betting with JJ+, AK against shorties OOP.

For everyone talking about being deepstacked, effective stacks are what matters. Both opponents have <100 BBs which make stack sizes awkward, but being deepstacked is not a concern.

Interesting responses.

Given the way you played preflop, on this board, I would probably open check, and call the 2 way allin that likely follows.
