AA and a TAG is giving action

[maryfield48]

The TAG is very T - 14% VP, 5% PFR. The LPP is very LP - 80% VP, <2%PFR.

How do I play it from here?

[mmbt0ne]

3-bets. I don't think TT is a hand most would 3-bet with preflop.

Did BB call the turn?

Heads up this is an easy call because TT seems more likely than KK/QQ at this point.

With BB still in the hand you would make a little something by playing ping-pong with another AA. Still, you made your AA pretty clear and TAG responded by ambushing you. I can't see putting in any extra action when there is such a large risk of a set.

Just call down.

[LeftBack]

TAG's hand hasn't improved any more than yours, so you're still ahead of him, most likely.

But, I'm more concerned about all the callers than I am about the TAG. Aside from the draws, there's a good chance that there's a small set or two pair watching you guys tear each other apart.

Slow down. Call the TAG's raise, check the river, and see who shows themselves. I would probably have to fold if it came back raised, but it would be hard.

BB called for his last $3 on the turn. Converter missed the all-in.

Yes and no. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I've seen posters on this forum claim that it is standard to 3-bet TT preflop.
Can't say I feel comfortable with it though.

If the villain tight, aggressive, and decent postflop, start calling.

[Ptolemy]

I'm not sure if I see TAG w/ TT here as he failed to cap the flop. His aggression pf should rule out 33 and 66. He almost looks like KK or AA who suddenly wondered in you have TT.

No one else is a concern in the hand as LPP is all-in and everyone else has folded (if I read things correct).

So, you are now head-up for whatever else goes in. I'd 3-bet the turn and call his cap. If the river comes another blank bet out again and call his raise hoping to see KK and not AA from him.

So yeah, I check-called from the turn raise on down.

But here's what I was thinking afterwards. Villain overplayed at some point. If he had TT he overplayed pre-flop. If he had KK/QQ he overplayed post-flop. Only way he didn't overplay was if he had AA.

So why should I give him credit for beating me in this situation? I know from the way this hand has gone he's making mistakes, somewhere. Is it MUBS to believe that the mistake he made is the one that hurts me? Am I now being result-oriented?

[HajiShirazu]

If the guy is only 5% PFR (and sample size always hurts these reads) he's probably not 3-betting TT preflop. Anyway I would rather put in one more raise here before I put the guy on a set.
