Preflop: raise aces gets reraised, what now?
6handed today. We have 100BB stacks and the opponent just sat down, but I knew he is a good player.
I have AA UTG and raise it to 4BB button reraises to 12BB, others fold it back to me. I hate pretty much every option here, reraising limits my hand too much and don't like slowplaying here. Thoughts? |

I re-raise enough so that all I have left is a PSB for the flop. I do not slow-play AA/KK OOP. If you were on the button and he re-raised you from the blinds I like the cold-call.

Pushhhhhhhhhhhh....but I would typically reraise to like 36BBs and push the flop. In both cases let's hope he calls with KK and we double up.

3 betting AA here sucks, allows your opponnent to play perfect poker unless he's an idiot. Only time I 3bet is if I think it won't be HU. Lead the flop right into him and the hand plays itself from there.
Deeper stacks, re-raise for sure, your 100BB's here. It's ok to slow play now and then. You are going to stack your opponnent far more often than he is going to stack you, play the odds. |

Re: Preflop: raise aces gets reraised, what now?
i'll be more constructive. when you 3 bet to 35BB (or similar), villain cannot call profitably with any possible holding. If he puts you squarely on AA and plays perfect poker from the flop on, he still loses money. If he folds, you've just won a 17BB pot uncontested. This is not a bad result. If you call and have to play poker against a good player OOP with decent sized stacks behind you, i'm not sure you'll see that kind of EV.

Re: Preflop: raise aces gets reraised, what now?
Thanks for comments. In this actual hand I raised to 36 and villain folded. The I began thinking, maybe it's better to hide the information in this case against good player and try to force opponent make an huge misstake postflop, even tho sometimes it might cost myself the pot.
And against bad/decent players I should just rereraise it hard preflop, because their calling/push range is wider so they are likely to make the biggest misstake preflop as opposed to good players who most of the time have the preflop play mastered, but have leaks postflop.. |

Call the re-raise.
Lead 3-bet or C/R all in on most flops. |
