What to do w/ AA pre

[Irish Mafia]

Oh, shoving works too (if he would perceive that more as weakness). I dislike a straight 4-bet.

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE US DOLLARS IMO

my first instinct when i read this is "fold"

but i corrected my nit tendencies


make it $127.5 to go, if you can't make it exactly that amount, then fold



in all seriousness though i think you can't really hide any strenght and anyone who's not an idiot will realize that the 4 bet is essentially an ALL IN, so i don't think he plays any pair to the 4 bet differently, but he might be more likely to call with AK because an all in would mean he gets to see all 5 cards, so i like a shove here, IMO the 4 bet small looks stronger

you will have trouble extracting any more value w/ a dry side pot if he misses. give him something to shoot for after the flop, but dont make it too big. i think 110-120 should do it.

Well cold call is usually a strong hand. So if you think he will stack off AK, 99+ pre, just 4 bet big.

other advice here is bad

This wouldnt be a cold call becasue OP was original raiser. Plus it wouldnt show that much strength just calling since the allin wasnt big by BTN. Hero would be doing this with most PP and anything he thought had value.

Another reason I don't like calling here is that it creates a protected pot with a dry sidepot.

He's probably trapping with kings, shove.
