AA on very dangerous board

No reads on villian. How would you play the hand?
Call the raise, and re-evaluate turn? Push on the flop? Fold?

Shove, lots of draws, villain can easily have an overpair as well.

I shoved, waiting with the results, but how would you play if we both had 200BB behind?

Profish2285 · #5 10-28-2007, 11:29 AM

Almost definitely still playing for stacks unless I have a read that villain doesnt play overpairs like this. If this is ever a draw or an overpair, which it usually is, then its time to felt it.

push. u beat 77+ + all drawing hands, u only lose to 44, 55, 66, 78, 23 and there's only ~10$ left to bet.

Yeah, push. I probably raise to 2 preflop. It will make it a little easier to get stacks in. CO only raised 3x and then you raised less than 3x his bet.

Your pre-flop 3-bet should be higher. 2-2.40 sounds about right. As far as this hand, shoving is fine. If your pre-flop 3bet had been higher, you could have really cut down the implied odds for villain to catch a set. As played, he had the odds.

With 200bb, there is no way to reasonably play without offering villain set odds. We can aim for a final pot size that represents a decent but less than 400bb pot. That said, I 3-bet to 2.2. Then I would just call his flop raise. I would aim to put in about 125-140bb, making a 250-280bb pot. If he sets on me, he makes a small but not enormous profit and hopefully I get decent value the times he has smaller pair unimproved.

do you know how he plays his draws?

PF 3bet at least pot. I'd say in most situations just push. His range is something like strong draws, JJ+, and sets.

Advent · #10 10-28-2007, 03:11 PM

I do not know how he play his draws. Yes, the preflop raise is a little bit small, usually i make it to at least $1.8 here. Dont really know why i made it less..
