AA hand against loose passive
 

stats on utg are 38/7/1.1 over 42 hands. I'm guessing his four betting preflop range is AA-JJ and AK-AQs. I was pretty lost on the flop.

You should have just taken the call/call/call line. I probably fold now.

Re: AA hand against loose passive
 

AQs is not in this guy's range. Calling down after the first bet is probably the best play.

Re: AA hand against loose passive
 

Yeah, I'd go ahead and call down unimproved. KK/QQ is 6 combos, and so is AK. (And I suppose A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is also possible.)

The flop action Villain is putting in makes me not so optimistic, though. If he has AK, he should be worried.

I like Jason's idea to begin calling down immediately when Villain leads the flop.

Re: AA hand against loose passive
 

42 hands are not enough to get a good enough read on villain, however with a vpip of 38 I think villains range might be more than you expect. I think call is necessary here, evaluate on the turn.
