Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

I really liked this hand. Villian is tight, and very aggressive.

I can't think of a way to get more bets than that.

If you're not going to bet-3bet the turn, then why not cap the flop before your turn donk?

Re: Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

I like your line. Esp not capping the flop to conceal your hand.
However, I feel it is kind of risky to go for the river CR against a TAG who might just check behind the river. Given the action tho I guess its just more pleasurable to finish off the hand that way.
Personally, I try not to get too fancy, and donk + 3 bet the turn, and leading the river wins me the same amount with less worries.

nice hand anyways

I planned on checkraising the turn assuming it wasn't a heart. But, since it was a heart, I donked it because I didn't want it checked through.

Re: Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

3 betting the turn is a must. He could cap - but you eliminated that possibility.

3-bet the turn. Wins the same # of bets with less risk of whiffing.

You should think a bit harder.

Re: Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

Yeah, on the turn he's not raising without a heart very often and judging by the preflop action, it's high enough that he might go to war. I think we gotta 3bet the turn. If I didn't know the action would go bet-raise on the turn I'd likely cap the flop too.

Re: Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

There's too much calling in this hand, not enough raising. When villain likes his hand this much, I would at least 3 bet the turn if you are going to take this line.

Re: Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

Ok now I'll explain my thinking... By his turn raise, it was evident he had the Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], or maybe the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. And yes, if I 3-bet, there's a chance he would have capped. But I don't think he would have. He was a thinking opponent, and he would have smelt the Ace[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pretty soon. I'm almost positive he would have called a 3-bet and called the river, which is 4 bets... which is the exact same amount I got out of him.

Now, provided I was VERY confident he'd bet the river if I checked to him, I went with that line because it not only got the four bets out, but it did two things: it made it look like I was totally bluffing the entire hand, so that my river checkraise would seem very odd to him... he might even 3-bet the river. Plus, it eliminated the very small chance of him folding the turn if I 3-bet and he only held, say, the Jack of hearts.

I still kinda think I should have 3-bet, but I think it's very close. Against this opponent, I'm happy with my line.

Re: Gettin\' jiggy with AA
 

FPS. You could have easily whiffed the river and missed a bet. re-raise the turn, bet the river. He'll call.

It should at least be considered that some opponents would be willing to fold the K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or something like that to a turn three-bet but would bet the river when checked to. Not that that's a big consideration against this (or even most opponents) but it should be considered against skilled/tight-weak types.
