$6.50 weird spot with AA

[chuckpalms04]

This spot's only weird because of awkward stack sizes at low blind levels. Any suggestions on flop size betting? I don't like my push, so maybe there's something else I could do...

CR All In.

Check raise all in is good if you think someone will bet at this. Open push is fine as well.

either way is fine IMO, if you repop pre and then check, it looks awful suspicious which is why i might just push here

This is a flop we don't mind giving a free card on so I think going for the CR and giving our opponents an opportunity to bluff the flop is the best choice. When they don't bite then I shove the turn. When some card like a 2 pops off they think "hmm that 2 couldn't have possibly helped him, he must have AK" and call with their 66.

push preflop. If they are calling a raise to 500, they are likely calling a shove in the 6.50s. People think Ax and any pair are good calling hands.

I dunno... lots of players at this level will call off 6/7ths of their stack but fold to an all-in. Funny but true [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

this looks completely fine to me. If you think someone is more likely to play if you leave yourself with like 2 or 300 chips you can do that, but you're getting it all in for value no matter what so it probably doesn't make much difference.

wp. you cannot c-bet it, and even against a made hand (flush/set) you have a ton of redraws.
