NLTRN: AA on paired flop
No reads because this was the first hand we'd actually played (the rest had been folds PF; although he had raised both hands he'd held in position). When I saw this flop, I had no idea what to do. I was probably way ahead, but I could've been way behind and I was OOP.
Comments appreciated on all streets, although I'd really like to know what to do on the river. I really wasn't sure, although here's what I considered: checking seemed pretty weak and I thought my opponent might take a shot at the pot. Although if he bets small, I might get to see a cheap showdown. But...if he pushes the river, can I realistically fold it? I thought about betting, but there's the question of how to size it. Even if I bet 1/3 pot, that's a huge chunk of my stack. Anything smaller would look really weak (I'd think), and invite a raise from a king or queen. I considered pushing, but I was worried that if he held the jack, I would've really sunk myself.

Re: NLTRN: AA on paired flop
3bet 3 times his raise to 180 preflop
what buyin level is this??? i play it the same flop and turn turn flat call scares me, but you are too committed at this point to fold to a shove so i would just go ahead and push

sorry, forgot to mention, this is a $6. Does that change how you'd play it? Also I agree completely about the 3-bet, it was too small. [/ QUOTE ] no, if anything i would give his turn call less credit, shove river, and expect to get called by a small pocket pair lol

Re: NLTRN: AA on paired flop
yeah, it being a 6$ sng makes this the only reasonable line so far. Also shove river and just live with it if he held a jack. You are way ahead of all of his ranges.
As mentioned before 3bet more, t180 at least.

Re: NLTRN: AA on paired flop
I like to bet this flop hard, pot or even overbet it. The investment isn't much more than a cbet, it lets me do it when I am holding AJ, or the Q. If we get shoved we can dump one pair easily, he will fold a lot, if he flat calls we are in trouble and can safely shutdown or block if he'll let us.
If I don't hammer this I have a tough time getting away on the turn or river when way behind. Lots of times I take your line too. Mike
