calling with AA from BB

[Igloo9]

I am fairly new to nlhe, so your help here is appreciated. Say you have AA in the BB, and the button open raises - button is 45/9 - sort of a fish. Both you only have 75BB stacks. Does it makes sense to just call here sometimes? If you raise mostly likely you take the pot. If you just call and the button hits top pair you stack him - given the shortish stacks does this play make sense against someone who you could stack? Seems like I only win very small pots with AA and KK.

if he only raises 9% that means he is raising only pretty good hands, in this cas i reraise him because he has got a good hand anyway and probably wont fold

[Igloo9]

assume he will fold if you reraise - then does it make sense

A player like this isn't going to be folding many hands that he opens with. So just reraise and get more money in the pot. And if everyone is folding to your 3-bets, then you aren't 3-betting nearly enough.

[Igloo9]

I think you are right about the 3 bet - I should do more. is there a stat in pokertracker that tells you how often you 3 bet?

[cbboy]

No!

your OOP against god knows what hand, and you will likely play it as the nuts. So no.

reriase! You are OOP, but obviously have the best hand. In many situations when a button player raises and the BB reraises the button raiser thinks the BB is trying to re-steal thinking the button is weak. In this situation you can get the button to call with a wide range of weak hands when you re-raise.

can anyone read? we're assuming the button will fold if we 3bet. the op's 3betting frequency and what the button might hypothetically think don't matter. if this is the exact scenario call with AA and 3bet most of your other hands.

you know, I know there are different variables, but i do see the pros make this play on tv - but I know its probably the exception.
