Default Interesting AA post by Garland from medium stakes

Garland, i hope you don't mind. I'm reposting this from the medium stakes forum...I had very strong feelins about this hand and was shocked by the replies. I'm very curious to see what y'all think

Here's the thread if you're curious...

Opponent is very tight, but his preflop raise selection is wide: VP$IP = 16.52 and Preflop raise % = 7.83 over 345 hands

What do you think?

UTG ($399.90)
UTG+1 ($539.60)
MP1 ($231.90)
MP2 ($460.70)

Preflop: Garland is BB with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I hate this as played.

Why not bet the flop and fold to a raise? 10 10, JJ, AK are all impossibilities?

This just seems incredibly weak tight. If this is going to be the play, why not just push preflop?

I'm not sure if you understood what he was saying

What he was probably trying to say is (correct me if i'm wrong Mens)... If your going to play this so weak tight postflop because you're gonna be scared of the nuts then you're probably better off just pushing preflop.

I was just answering why we shouldn't push preflop. It just so happens I agree with the flop play.

Hoping your opponent has an unlikely AK or JJ is just too much for me.

Huh? Unlikely why?

You can't put him on AK here? I'd certainly bet that. I'd also at least take a shot with JJ (which, by the way, would have worked in Villain's case here).

Also, you wouldn't check KK here?

There are 8 combinations of AK left. There are 6 combinations of TT and 6 more of JJ. There are only 3 combos of KK and 3 combos of QQ and of course 1 where we tie with AA.

We win - 20 times
we tie - 1 time
we lose - 6 times

Of course AK, TT, and JJ MIGHT fold preflop, but i find this doubtful
