AA Turn Decision vs. Morongo Unknown

[jester710]

Ok, the consensus seems to be to make a healthy bet on the turn with the intention of betting the river if called, or reraising all in if he comes over the top.

In the actual hand, my friend bet $100 into about a $300 pot, and the villain min-raised. Does this change hero's plan?

Just keep betting and call any raises... You can't ever give anyone credit for quads because its just so rare. I played a similar hand a few weeks ago at 5/10... where my 3/4 pot bet on flop was min-raised... in response to which I pushed for 1K and got a call from JJ. You're likely up against something similar.

i say bet $250.

most players will assume their overpair, whether it be 99-KK would be good here, unless its a skilled opponent and you never really provided any information so we dont know if hes a total donk or a good player.

not sure why people are discounting A4, A2, 54s when villian is on the button, and with 5 callers, he had several callers in front of him.

that said, i agree with people who said to continue betting for value.

I was wondering this myself. Everyone says not to worry about quads, but villain doesn't NEED quads to be way ahead. Also, I don't see why a suited A4, A2, or 45 is out of the question.

About the lack of reads, I didn't see this hand. My friend told me about it, and he said he didn't know anything about the villain. Still, players in this game have been known to call raises with all kinds of crap, especially when they see a big pot forming. While perhaps an over pair to the board is villain's likely hand, it isn't out of the question for him to have some random hand that happens to have a 4 or a deuce in it.
