25NL: AA preflop question for max value

LrdNikon · #1 05-28-2007, 05:03 PM

So my question is this: should I have just called MP, hoping to bring UTG along for the flop?

MP has been on tilt the last few hands. He got almost stacked ($5 left) on a mild beat, and then got lucky and doubled up (you know how it goes). Also by the way he called the .25, I felt like he really liked his hand.

UTG has been playing fairly tight. He called my raise as soon as it got to him, and he took his time to fold to my reraise. He probably had a decent ace (or medium pair) IMO since he had to think about it.

push to his 3-bet, minraises are not clever or cute.

PF push is standard.

Who said anything about a minraise?

your 4bet is essentially a minraise, just put him all in
