AA - Paired board on river!
 

Hello!

I was just wondering about a hand how you would have played it and when you should fold AA.

All of your opponents and yourself have 100bb stacks.
Say you get Ad As, and raise 4bb PF. You get 2 callers and the flop comes Kh Qh xd

You bet out pot on the flop, and one of the fellows in the hand folds whilst the other one calls.

The turn card is a blank. You bet out pot once again, and you get called.

Now the river comes Ks! A paired board. You decide to check, and your opponent decides to go all-in, forcing you to either put all your chips into the center, or fold.

What would you do?

I'm having a discussion with a friend of mine about this type of hand. He thinks one should call whilst I would fold. Comments are appreciated!

Unless you have a read saying he bluffs missed draws very strongly, fold. I would have checked the turn and called a 1/3-1/2 pot bet.

This is entirely read dependent.

I would fold here without a read though.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Would there be any reason to call this against an opp you don't have any read of whatsoever?

I often check behind in situations like this on the turn when I have position. But lately I have also started to check when talking first with good results. Is that a better line in general than bet?

go all in preflop and avoid these decisions

Since the board is a little scary with the KQ, I would check behind and call a river bet. Reason being is when you bet the turn, only better hands are going to call you. On the river, someone might bet out a missed draw or whatever, and you can show down for cheap.
