25/50 weird spot with AAAx

[ QUOTE ]
So me and cts had been playing 3 tables of HU 25/50 for about 30-45 minutes before this hand came up, and the action had been pretty LAG, with a lot of 3 and 4betting preflop (although I had been the only to 4bet and had never shown anything less than AAxx).

I don't really like the 3 bet then, I think the hand plays too badly postflop and this line is only good if he 4 bets you occasionally.

even a 678hhh flop I am shoving here.

i think the hand overall on the flop is pretty =ev. i think you have to shove 567 flops as i think you are still going to be in front ahead of his range on average. ideal flop for you would be 22T, but then your problem is opponent will fold out alot

with either a really safe or really dangerous flop is a a c/c better? maybe if we check our opponent will bluff his hand that missed totally. i mean if you check a 567 flop might you get QJT9, or QQJJ to take a shot at it?? a hand where he know if he calls he's got 20% equity, so he cant call when the pot is 60/40, but he may feel he has some fold equity.

i know if it was me id be taking the free card, but im not sure thats true of everyone

Sorry, 3 and 4betting = 4 and 5betting.

i dont like getting it in with AAA in my hand omaha is a four card game and youre only using 3. i think this is a bad spot and you can find a better one.

So a general rule you just striahgt-out fold all AAAx hands and dont change if you're playing HU?

Heres a post from awhile about about playing KKKJss HU vs an aggressive player. I had some mixed reviews about the hand and didn't really agree with some of the posts. Gordos post just reminded me of this. Not sure if it will help tho.

Without naming the four cards in your hand, if I told you you could get half your stack in preflop as a 60/40 favourite would you take it?

exactly.

today i had AAKK and raised. villan re raises. i re raises maximum, he calls. i put him all in on the flop. he called with qq and a gut shot. river......queen.

he then types, "why do people overplay aces", as if i'm a donk retard.

i instantly thought to myself, "because my hand is better than yours, duh"

I don't think there's any question about putting in the 4th raise, it is the 2nd one that is dubious IMO.
