Wait, you can't see him pushing in AK like that but you can see him pushing AA like that? That's not a solid player IMO.

how would you have him play AA? I really like his line with aces.

you've never limp raised before.

this is results oriented thinking (you actually HAVING KK this time)

I dont think pushing pf with deep stacks with anything but AA is smart, and I dont think pushing with deep stacks massive overbet with AA is smart.

Hand 1: Insta. Slowrolling is for nubs. Wait. You are asking how long you should take before calling right? NO? You're asking IF you should call?

I put villain on AK here a vast majority of the time. You said you HAVEN'T LRR yet. I can't see a push here with AA.


[/ QUOTE ]

you guys see a solid player shoving 300+ bb's in the middle in a massive pot overbet with AK? I'm not saying that this is AA all the time, but I think the call, long term, is very close EV wise and I really don't think he plays AK this way.

i agree that it's not an easy call. i would be pretty pissed if that happened to me. low EV, high variance. i would probably grit my teeth and call though. since you limped he expects you to fold close to 100% of the time and get heads up with crazy LAG.

I think you're the small blind, and you're holding aces. I'd absolutely do this with aces. Some of my biggest pots have been won this way.

I was thinking about this some more and I am starting to lean towards him having AA most of the time. I am assuming he probably views you as good, since you both have deep stacks and good stats and probably have been playing together for a while. If he just want's to isolate the bad lag for his stack he should realize that you would fold your marginal holdings to a bet of about ~300 - 500 as a squeeze as oppossed to the all in no? He of course can't put you on KK here (unless he has the new delta gamma V8.34 patter mapper [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) but he can't rule it out completey. Why the heck would he move all in with a deep stack behind him left to act. He may have just said F it, I don't want to play this AA oop against a good player I'll just shove it in and win a quick ~300 off the bad LAG, plus he may get luck and have you pick up a hand that might try and "pick-off" his isolation raise.

I really don't see this. If that were his thought process, he should make it $100 straight and give the LAG a chance to come over the top. You don't make money by asking maniacs to CALL. You challenge them and entice them to BET. And that should be enough to force out the good player, too.

I hope you don't think I'm being a pedant, but you didn't say he was solid you just said he was tricky. I think the tricky aspect should lean you towards calling and the solid aspect (obviously) towards folding (hence my earlier reply).
