Re: AA line I\'ve never taken before...
I don't know why everyone hates this fold so much. I'm guessing he was behind here. He may have to call 2 more bets to find that out, as well. If he's ahead, he'll win much LESS than he'll lose if he's behind.
I think on these boards, people are too concerned with not being "weak-tight", whatever that actually is. (I'll tell you what it is, it's probably the right way to play mid-stakes poker unless you're REAL good).
This is an interesting line, although I have an alternative one. Making a smallish, maybe 1/2 pot flop bet could also have some merit, as it could look like you're milking a set. What would you think if your opponent bet 1/2 pot after reraising and this flop came out? If he raises, you're done with the hand at that point. If he calls and he *doesn't* have the set, he'll almost certainly check behind on the turn and then you can check/call the river. If he bets the turn, fold.
