Re: Live 2-4: AA on Drawless Board and Top Card Pairs on the Turn
[ QUOTE ]
A very loose and average, though tending towards passive, opponent raises. The other two players fold and the action is on you.

You said it right there. If a passive person comes to life, what does he have? Probably at least a Q, if not 77 or 33. True, he might want to slowplay 77 or 33, so I'll stick with the Q. The pot is laying you 12.5:1, and if you believe him you're drawing to two outs which is laying you 22:1. Fold.

Is this an easy situation to deal with?

This depends on the player. If you fall in love with AA to the bitter end, then yes, it's difficult to deal with because you're going to pay the guy off, and he's going to roll over KQ or QJ or Q-whatever, and you're going to rap the table wondering why you just paid off 2 big bets when you knew you were beat...again.
However, if you realize that the two AA are just two pieces of plastic that you control rather than control you, you realize it belongs in the muck. You can feel confident you made the good fold and move on to the next hand.
