AA on Flop
Game: Absolute Poker, Blinds $1/2 with relatively deep stacks. 9-handed.
Hero UG ($435)has AA Main Villian Late MP ($475) Button ($76) Preflop: Hero leads out $7, Villain miniraises to $14, Button Calls, Hero reraises to a total of $70. Villain calls, button folds. Pot$157. Flop: QQJ 2 diamnonds, hero checks with intention of check raising, Villain pushes all in, which would cost hero $365. Only 2nd orbit of playing with Villain, so no real read,though this game generally plays somewhat weak tight in general. Call or Fold? Should I have led, if so how much? |

Re: AA on Flop
wow. thats deep stacked.
I think if you are going to play this deep stacked, your preflop reraise should be double what it was. as it stands, I would have probably lead the flop for 100 just to discourage a push from a hand I beat. |

Re: AA on Flop
Raise to $140? I think that is a bit too much. My thinking on my initial open of $7, was to get a re-raise from 10-kk, and AK, and re-raise, which I did. My re-raise was for more than the pot. I thought that would narrow the range of hands to AA-QQ, and maybe AK.

Re: AA on Flop
I assume AA and KK are the only hands you do this move preflop with.
If I'm going to telegraph my hand preflop with a 3 bet and I feel that I am not going to fold on the flop regardless, then I definitely get more in the pot preflop. |

Re: AA on Flop
call and split the pot with AA or beat KK. you checked to induce a bluff, you got your wish, you have to call here. If he called that bet with anything other than AA or KK it's QQ and if he flopped quads, I guess i'd pay it off.

Re: AA on Flop
ohhh whoops, i didn't see the part about you having no read on villian. this is a tricky hand...i could see a smart villian playing AQ like this, or maybe even JJ if he has you on AA/KK. if you have no read on villian, then this probably means that he has no read on you; so why would he think that he can bluff you off of your hand? i feel like you're behind here.

The hand that concerned me the most was JJ. |

Re: AA on Flop
Yeah, i meant "smart" more as in a "thinking player." although others might disagree, i like this play from villian if he has AQ/JJ; i think it's smart if he has you on AA/KK. I agree that JJ is definately a concern.

Re: AA on Flop
JJ maybe, but I strongly disagree with AQ. AQ is a horrible dog to AA, and in pretty poor shape vs KK or QQ. If you don't flop a str8 or 2 queens what are you going to do. The stacks are deep, but not that deep. Even if he flops 2 queens what if it is KQQ or AQQ, then what do you do? AQ would be much better off just calling the original raise vs, miniraising, and once it was re-raised you have to fold it. At least that's what I would do.
