Interesting AA post by Garland from medium stakes
 

Garland, i hope you don't mind. I'm reposting this from the medium stakes forum...I had very strong feelins about this hand and was shocked by the replies. I'm very curious to see what y'all think

Here's the thread if you're curious...

Opponent is very tight, but his preflop raise selection is wide: VP$IP = 16.52 and Preflop raise % = 7.83 over 345 hands

What do you think?

I hate this as played.

Why not bet the flop and fold to a raise? 10 10, JJ, AK are all impossibilities?

This just seems incredibly weak tight. If this is going to be the play, why not just push preflop?

weak

Re: Interesting AA post by Garland from medium stakes
 

Given people's tendencies to slowplay, I would imagine you're facing AK here a good amount of the time.

Cause then everything but KK folds.

and if checked to, does AK bet this flop? JJ? AQ?

What he was probably trying to say is (correct me if i'm wrong Mens)... If your going to play this so weak tight postflop because you're gonna be scared of the nuts then you're probably better off just pushing preflop.

I'm not sure I see your point.
