Stars 200NL AA hand

DrMagic · #1 12-20-2006, 09:46 PM

Didn't have HUD running so bear with me:

I've been playing pretty aggressively as usual, but have not shown down many hands, and the ones that I have have been decent. Have won quite a few pots recently without showdown.
Villain has been pretty quiet but I believe he is ready to play back somewhat light. I'm just going on a timing tell which is; each time I have opened the pot preflop, villain has taken longer and longer to fold. I think he's getting fed up but I'm obv not sure at all.

Anyway, on flop I had decided to call the re-raise and get it in on most turns.

I think the river is the most interesting street though, bet or check?

Thoughts on all streets appreciated obv.

He probably has air or an 8, so I check. Seems weak but I just don't see what hands are calling a VB that you beat. Plus if you got c/r'd and couldn't show down this hand I think baby Jesus would cry.

I think i'd check behind. 77 or 99 is possible (I would think TT+ would reraise button open preflop). I could see him c/rai on riv after filling up and thinking you were slowplaying nut flush on turn. I think he wants you to bet here, so check.

I guess a smallish river bet could get value from 99-kk (vilain seems scared by the top card pairing..?), but being c-raised would be pretty nasty and I want a showdown. I just check behind here.

just check, I have even seen the flush check behind here. Sometimes you will miss value by not beting but for most part he might c/c or c/r with alot of hands that smash you.

Btw, villain is pretty tight, so I'm not sure how many suited spade hands he's showing up with here, esp as I have the Ac

Well, along the same lines then, how many 8x hands do you expect him to come up with here? He's probably got something like JJ/QQ a fair % then. Also, does he really check a boat on the river?

I'm really not worried about trip eights, though I'm really not sure what I'm worried about. Just seemed like an awkward spot.

judging from the action of the hand, and the fact that he's pretty tight, his river check seems like a scared check to me and that your call of his big turn bet froze him...also, tight players aren't usually creative enough to c/r the river with monsters.

Any reason why you didn't re-raise his flop raise?
