$22: How do you handle this AA hand?
A few hands in, CO seems like kinda of a donk, playing lots of hands pretty badly. How do you guys play this hand? I'm guessing I should push or reraise the flop, but I'm not really sure how to handle it.

Re: $22: How do you handle this AA hand?
CO's raise on this flop is a little suspect. Isn't it? With position, does he not just as often cold-call the 1/2 lead on this flop with a T? Had you led more (which I'm not saying necessarily you should have), the raise might be more typical - as with a call, you'd be less inclined to continue on the turn (with a whiffed AK say). Your weaker lead on the turn would certainly get the 9 to push it here.
There are just too many hands that like this flop and your 1/2 lead to do this -- outside of a T. I'm going broke on this flop. |

Re: $22: How do you handle this AA hand?
Personally I've had a lot more success lately adopting the limp/reraise AA utg play. I hate having to play flops like this.
But I'm hesitant to give him credit for tens, because that seems like a hand any sane person would want to slowplay on this almost drawless board. I'd probably go broke here and just shove over his flop raise. I think he has a pair of nines or like somebody else said, a poorly played JJ. |
