AA facing shortstack all-in with one player behind
CO is a typical bad short stack micro player, no reads on the other villain.
Obviously, the short stacks all-in is an insta-call if there isn't another player to act. BB's cold call on the flop isn't that odd, but when it's followed by a cold-call on the turn, it's really really suspicious. Now, this hand might seem pretty standard, but I *know* a ton of you uNL players have trouble getting away from AA or KK just because the quality of play is so atrocious that it's easy to put both players on a queen, a club draw + pair, J10, or even a naked club draw. I'm almost certain that the short stack has a pair of queens, JJ or 1010. So wtf do I do.

Re: AA facing shortstack all-in with one player behind
I would probably have bet around 7 on the turn, but after the all-in and call, i think it's more likely that you are up against a set than a flush draw and a hand like AQ or KQ. I don't think a call is horrible, I just lean towards folding.

Raise more preflop. Make it $1 to go
Definately bet the turn. As played c/r all in. There is just too much money in the pot |

Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about raising, didn't look at stack sizes. I guess c/r all in is probably the best play, are we just hoping for AQ and a flush draw/KQ?

[/ QUOTE ] I guess I'm really unsure how often I see two hands I'm ahead of in this spot.....the KQ/AQ or AQ/Flush draw combo are the only way I feel great. |

Re: AA facing shortstack all-in with one player behind
I bet the turn to $7. To me checking on the turn multi way on a relatively dry board is weak.
If you're going to go for a check raise with AA its better to do it HU if you're pretty sure villain will be with a better hand, but since CO is all in you will have a side pot vs. BB which increases your chances of winning that pot and I think you're ahead enough here to make that play. |
