AA in SB vs steal

[kimchi]

I'm always re-raising. Mostly since a call looks so supicious from most player except the donks.

If the loose BB want to have a shot at my aces with his 96-offsuit, then he's welcome - but he's going to have to pay extra to see the flop. And so is the stealer.

Also, if the stealer's hand was a genuine raising hand, then we may well get plenty of action HU anyway.

If the big blind call 2 with 96o, you have to 3 bet for sure. But if the big blind calls just 1 with 96o, it is better to CC. You win money from the BB because:

-He don't have the odds to see the flop.
-With a cr on the flop you can cut his odds and push your equity edge.
- he makes bad calls.


If the CO is an average player, he don't know you can have aces. CC from the sb happens very often. If the guy knows you it's different obv.

In any situation where the CO raise flop if you 3 bet pf, the CO would have 3 bet the flop if you CC pf imho. But the converse is not true. For example on 10 7 2 flop he can 3 bet the flop HU with overcards in attempt to get a free card.

It is true you can loose money, if the CO can four bets but it is not too much of his range, and you can often regain this on the flop.
