Default AA utg gets re-raised PF. What\'s the most profitable line?

1/2 NL at the MGM Sat Eve. I have about $200 and the player to my left has me well covered. I have played tight and only shown down strong hands. Player on my left has been solid, aggressive and has both been able to let a hand go but also won with hands that were far from the nuts at showdown.

I have A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG and raise to 6 (the table has been very tight and raises to 10 have not had much action if any). The guy on my left reraises to 26 and it is folded back around to me.

I decide to just call, knowing he most likely has AK, QQ or KK and I am way ahead but don't want to blow him off his hand. The flop comes 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

What's the best line to build the pot and tie him to it?

Thanks.

I, also, played at the MGM on Saturday. I was a bald guy with a black Iowa hat on. I was only there for a couple hours before going back the Paris after my 82 lost to 32 all in on a 22A flop for ~300 dollars. (I'd bought in 25$ shorter than usual so that, if I got stacked, I could justify an at-the-table massage with the money I "saved". This was my best idea ever.)

Anyway, hijack aside, I definitely re-raise preflop against a solid player OOP with 100BB stacks to make the hand easier. If he's solid, he'll probably fold to the reraise, but that's okay -- if he's that solid, you're probably only getting his whole stack if your one pair is beat.

As played, it's image dependant. Is he bluffy? Does he think he has a right to every pot he plays? Will he put you on a bluff if you stab at the pot right away? Given the paired board and a thinking player, I like a big checkraise to rep the unlikely ten on the flop. If he calls that, bet turn and river for stacks.

If he's a chasey-idiot, check call flop and checkraise turn and lead river all-in is a fine line.

If he's like the people I played with at the Paris all week, lead flop for 100$ to gets calls from the second nut low and push turn to get a call from QQ and an overcall from 44.

Online I call, cr ai. Live people just don't get off hands. Repop it to 75-80 and watch as he helps you get the rest in.

as played cr flop ai.

I checked the flop, he bet 25 I raised to 75. He thought long and hard and then folded. I keep thinking I should have just called the flop and then led out for $50.

When I was leaving he told me he had QQ.

Thanks for the reply "Trackta Balla".

You do know that Hero only has $200, right? If Hero check-calls the flop the pot will already be ~$100, leaving no room for fancy play on the turn and river. A bet or c/r on the turn puts Hero all-in.

And why would you want to represent the T? You want Villain to call with JJ-KK, not fold!

I checkraise the flop allin as a slight overbet, so it looks like a FD.
