I really like my thought process here - AA vs. weak-tight BB

[JrJordan]

Villain is a decent player but probably still a small loser at 10/20. Sees a decent number of flops at around 22-25%ish, but isn't aggressive enough and doesn't defend his blinds much. I've raised the blinds a few times but not overly so to the point I believe he's playing back at me.

What am I thinking on each street here? Without the read and a thought process it looks pretty weak, but think a little harder. I'll post my thought process after I hear yours.

looks ok
i generally cap flop here even against this guy.


actually no i think you have to cap the preflop. especially since you've stolen at least a few times against him, and capping a steal looks fishy.

I like it. Looks like an overpair or possibly even a set on the flop. I raise any non J-Q-K on the turn but once that Q hits I call it down to avoid being 3-bet if behind.

It looks to me like you were going to raise the river, then with all the other broadway, you figured he'd have setted you. Sound right?

[Danenania]

I think you have to raise the turn. This is where not capping PF gets you. Now you need to raise. Don't worry, no one folds.

Posting Blind:

Flop: Looks like villain likes his hand - likely an overpair, maybe AT, maybe TT. Capping is going to slow him way down, and we are ahead of nearly all his hands. Call to raise a good turn card.

Turn: The Q is a bad card - QQ has pulled ahead, and given the read we might fold JJ or AT with a raise here. Better to call and raise the river.

River: The K is another bad card. He is now less likely to pay off a raise, and more likely to be ahead. Since now we are behind TT/QQ/KK, tie with AA, and really only be JJ/AT we can't raise for value because we're not ahead enough. Still call though.

How's that compared to your thoughts?

I missed the pf action the first time.

Honestly - the number of times I've failed to cap AA preflop can be counted on 1 hand, and they were usually misclicks...but in this particular scenario I like it. He will severely misread your hand, and often give you far more action on safe flops than he would otherwise.

Cap PF. He likes his hand, he is going to pay. Remember, tricky plays are best left at the B&amp;M 40/80 or higher stakes games, not at low limit online games.

cap PF, raise the turn

it'll be interesting to hear your thought process, cuz right now I cant come up with any ones worthy of playing the hand the way you did.

Alobar - your response to me or OP?
