Re: A-A flop decision

Although i'd do my best to spike an ace on the turn.

That was my plan, fortunately it worked. I called, rainbow Ace fell on the turn. I checked, he bet enough to pot commit him and I immediately put him all in, trying my best to represent A-K because I thought he had that beat. He tabled 6-6 and life was good.
In hindsight I was somewhat dissatisfied with my flop call. I know it sounds absurd to dump A-A on that flop, but he was the type of player that I didn't feel would minraise without a monster. I knew I had implied odds if the A fell, but his stack wasn't deep enough to warrant a call if I had known his cards. I knew he didn't have a high pair, he would have raised preflop. So my guess was that he was playing something for set value. Once the Ace hit, I just prayed it wasn't 4-4.
