Default Lay AA here?

$10 midnight madness. Too early for real read on villian.

I figured with him potting the flop, he already has a made hand of some sort and not a draw, so I decide to call rather than shove and see if he'd slow down on the turn.

Shove flop. As played, I make a crying call.

I would have shoved on the flop. The Q on the turn sucks, but he could easily have AJ or KJ, only thing I would be worried about here is QJ since people love that hand. I would call though, especially considering the pot size compared to your stack.

I can't see a reason for ever calling on that flop. A straightening board like that with all of the fish that play in the Midnight Madness is one of the last flops you wanna see. If you think he has a made hand like two pair, fold. I would shove that every time, though. I would never ever call, however. Push or fold.

As others have said, raise all-in on flop. Why did you just call? You left yourself with only ~1600!!

You have ~1600 left on the turn and are getting ~4000:1600 = 5:2 on your money... I wouldn't be able to fold unless it was a satellite or I had a strong read.

Shove flop. There's not much point seeing if he'll slow down on turn because we're calling on the turn getting 5:2 anyway, we just have too much equity against his range which has to include some sort've TP or draw hands. Definitely calling turn despite it being a fairly bad card.

I would call here, but I would not like it. MP2 called $160 into a $660 pot. He could most definitely be playing with T9 here, but with the odds being offered, there is little choice.

Make it 240 preflop. Raise all in on the flop.
