Re: NL400: I fold AA for less than a PSP
I think you should raise the flop or fold it. Calling is worsest option imo.
And what I would do? I really can't give any good advice here. The flop is so dry and because I think its fold. But the raise is so small and folding looks so weakish and nittish. I don't know.

Calling keeps them in the hand. On the other hand, with so many preflop callers I may already be beat by so I think folding is surely justified here. I'm just not ready to give up this pot for a min-raise. Lastly, calling his flop raise helps me at least try to keep some semblance of pot control.

Re: NL400: I fold AA for less than a PSP
Reads on villain would really make this easier to play. By calling his flop raise, I'm in a tough spot on the turn either way. I realize this, but I think it's better than re-raising preflop as that allows him to play perfectly against me.
With a blank turn, I can either lead/fold or check/call. If I lead turn for a 2/3 pot size bet and get raised I can fold comfortably knowing that I'm beat. The problem with that is he doesn't have too much behind so a lead/fold is pretty bad I here. So... a blank turn and I probably check/call this hand down. I lose to flopped set and win from AJ, KJ, QJ.

Re: NL400: I fold AA for less than a PSP
Being out of position really damages your situation in this hand, imo.
The flop call looks fine, but I'd like to know what your plan is on a blank turn (like a 7). c/r-ai? The stack sizes are such that this seems to be best. Shoving the flop isn't that terrible, either, but it's a little premature for my taste. All in all, this line seems reasonable. You're losing often enough to not bother committing the rest of the effective stack on that turn card, which is what his turn bet basically does.

Re: NL400: I fold AA for less than a PSP
Against a 75BB stack and an SPR < 5, I stick it in on the flop all day, unless I have a read that the villain is really passive/nitty.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, it's kind of borderline here but I think this is one of those occaisions where I discount the good SPR for my AA. Here's why: 1.) Four players saw the flop. 2.) Villain is not likely on a draw. There is only one draw and it's unlikey 3,5. 3.) Villain is unkown. I find it is better to give unkowns more credit at NL400 than I do at lower levels. Anyone disagree? 4.) Pushing his flop raise allows him to play perfectly against me. 5.) I've already raised UTG and bet the flop into three players. I'm saying I have a high pair and he's not backing down. All and all I think check/call is a more profitable line if the turn and river blank.
