AA vs reraise on a non scary flop. What line to take?

call, crai on good turn

Without any read it's very hard to know what to do but, I'd say he's either got a set, or an ace jack. I think the reraise is a stupid move here with nine-ten, as you could have a plethora of hands many of which with three bet, in addition to this UTG is still in the hand, making nine ten very unlikely.

I think you should cal and wait untill the turn. He's most likely to have AJ, as I don't think KJ or QJ would stick in reraises. If he does then he's drawing thin and an ace hitting the board would mean you can stack him. But you should control the pot size incase he's got a set already. So I'm check calling turn and river, in the event of no ace coming.

It would take a nut case to bluff again after you've called his reraise, but if he's capable of it then you'd lose value by pushing here.

pot will be 254 on the turn, stacks around 285, if he makes any normal sized bet on the turn he's too committed to fold, and just calling lets him check behind on the river. you're getting stacked by a set anyway, so you might as well crai and get the maximum from worse hands

[Briman51]

Yeah, good point. c.raise turn if it's not a jack.

for whats its worth, I shoved for ~ 240 more or something

he timed down, called for time then folded

in the chat he said he had AJ and it was a tough fold for him


my thought with shoving was to make him pay for hand like KJ. I hated just smooth calling and allowing a K to spike for free. If he had 88, well then gg me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


probably could of had his stack with a $150 bet on turn and river shove, oh well.

i really think with no history that calling is best and CRAI on turn unless a Q or 7 falls.

I havent seen as many donks cold call pre, then raise flop with top pair as much lately which would have lead me to believe that pushing over on flop would only fold out all losers and lose to better. Here was the case, oh well.

[Praetor]

i always call without history

[wpr101]

I'm definetly calling. I don't think anything we are beating would call our three bet.

[CastlesMadeASand]

i think both call and shove turn or shove now are good.
