Default Re: AA - Interesting Flop

So basically, there's three hands you could reasonably assume he's going to smooth call you with pre-flop - AK,
QQ, JJ...I guess it's up to you to decide whether or not you think it's worth calling your whole stack on the possibility he has AK and nothing else...

hope this helps!

To take this 1 step further since you have A-A it is more likely you are up against 1 of the big pockets than A-K. (I don't discount K-K as 1 of his holdings).

So let's assume we are behind. We have 6 outs, 2 aces and 4 tens. Short stack may have 1 or 2 of these outs. At 6 outs you are a 4-1 dog and at 4 outs around 10-1.

Do you like your pot odds?

Added: You are actually a bigger dog than these odds as you may get the straight and still lose to a boat.
