I'd cap the turn and the river.

I like the smooth call on the flop. At best he has 2 outs.
I'd cap the turn and just call if he bets into me on the river. With the line you took (just calling his turn 3bet) why did you raise the river? What did the 9 change?

Re: Massive AA HU hand
 

Yep the line I took on the turn and river was pretty dumb.

I doubt any of you can guess his hand...
Give it a shot.

99, 77 or 44

Nice Mark, way to use the carpet bombing strategy to guess it.

It was 44.

It made me shout "What the F*uck!" at my computer.
He tricked me good.

I had ruled 44 out.

Re: Massive AA HU hand
 

I like your line to the point where you just called the 3-bet on the turn. If your hand was good enough to raise the river, it was certainly good enough to cap the turn.

And in fact you should cap the turn. Why? That way if he dares leads into you on the river despite being capped on the turn, you can just call and save yourself one big bet if you're beat.

At the time Ive lost my last 7 AA in a row, so I know all to well how this feels. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I like to complain.
