AA vs ??

[McNeese72]

Okay, the villain is a Loose Passive Aggressive.

Flop is routine. With the villain capping the flop, I'm thinking high pocket pair.

When he doesn't raise after the flop, I'm thinking something else besides pocket kings.

When he raises me on the turn, I'm going "Oh, sh*t, maybe he has pocket K's and slowed played them. But I have trouble backing down with pocket A's. I probably should have called after the first raise.

River, I'll probably should just check/call with the pot so big (my choice) or maybe even check/fold.

What do you guys think?

With a cap pf, the king hitting, and raising the turn with a blank it looks like he has a good hand. I'd call down after the turn raise when it is heads up. If you have him beat, he is bluffing, so let him keep bluffing. If he has you beat you have 2 outs. Definately see a showdown.

[Supern]

Yes you should just have called his first raise.

But since you didn't you just check-call and hope he has something you can beat.
You just can't fold in a pot as big as this when he can have AK.
He may as well have overplayed QQ, KQ or 99. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

hi
given the pf action and description of villian, i can't see him with a 6 in his hand. so you are behind exactly KK. given that he's aggressive post-flop, maybe he's overplaying another big pp or AK.

on the river, you're behind KK and JJ. i'd bet and call a raise. or, if he's not REALLY aggressive, i'd check call the river. in fact, i might bet and call a raise either way.

This is a step out on a limb, and this doesn't happen much, but I've seen a few LPA's play any PP preflop like this guy did. What gets me his he waits until the turn to wake up. This guy must have slowplayed his KK or (here is the limb) caught a set of 2's. I ran into a similer hand where Villan had 33 turned a 3 for a set, he played preflop/flop the same as your guy and woke up on the turn. Again not likely but it's hard to put this guy on one distinct hand.
