Default AA in the Big Blind

There are only two player profiles in this hand, actually three if you include me, the rest fold on the flop.

Let me set the table.

I am in the big blind in seat 3, I would like to think that I have a solid image, I am having a good session, I have about 4 racks of chips in front of me and I have only shown down winning hands.

Seat 4 is a very nice man but a lousy poker player, he plays too many hands and goes too far with them. He is in the game for about two racks at this point.

Seat 6 is an unknown, I have never played with him before and I believe he is waiting for a seat in a no limit game, so he may feel that he is slumming playing limit. He has only been in the game for about 15 minutes.

Pre-Flop

Seat 4, 6 and the button limp, the small blind completes and I raise, they all call.

Flop is

J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Small blind checks, I bet, seats 4 and 6 call, button and small blind fold.

Turn

7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet, seat 4 calls and seat 6 raises. I call fairly quickly but not before I notice that seat 4 is unhappy with the raise, the wheels are also spinning in my head as to seat 6's holdings. Seat 4 groans, mumbles something about 'donation' and throws in eight more chips

River

I tend to prefer check/calling over bet/folding in large pots

"I . . . . "

throw that losing hand in the muck?

That 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the turn was a seemingly inocuous card for the guy to be raising on. I sure don't like your hand much here, but, since the pot is large, I suppose I would check and call a bet, check and fold to a bet and a raise. The problem is that if seat 6 had some silly hand like Q-7 or A-3 that you couterfeited on the river, that raises the chance that the "donator" had a jack.

The more I think about it the more I think you're no good.

He wrote a thread about AA in the big blind; how could his hand be any good?
