PP NL $400 Hand - AA in BB
I'd like some opinions on this play.
PP NL $400 and UTG+1 limps, MP makes it 4.5 x BB, everyone folds to me with AA in the BB. We all have around $400. UTG+1 is a terrible player who will limp in from EP with any above average hand and I've seen him limp from EP only to fold to medium sized raises twice this session. If he sees a flop, he is a station and will pay ANY amount to draw, and he is not tricky at all. When he hits hard, he bets hard. If he has any kind of draw he check-calls, and he will even call big bets with just 2 overcards, trying to hit.
MP is a VERY good player. He is definately one of the best NL players on PP at this level, and he knows that I am good too. If I held a hand like AA/KK, he would expect me to re-raise him here most of the time. He is very aggressive, and could have a large range of hands here... anything from AK to any pocket pair 99 or higher, and once in a while he might even make a play like this with 77 or 88, although that is less likely.
I felt as though this was a good time to trap and smooth call. Opinions on this decision? I'm not saying I trap here 100% of the time, but more than usual... say 33% of the time. Any objections?
