playing AA on paired flop against EXTREMELY aggressive opp.
The following happened at a six-handed, $50+4 SNG at Pacific. No reads on any player but RW888, who has comeback from being short stack by playing VERY aggressively: raising all-in preflop at least one out of six hands. Played a few hands against him: twice I led out w/ a pot-sized "feeler" bet after flopping top pr/ mid kicker, twice he raised all-in (and I folded).

Because RW888 is SO aggressive, I thought I'd show a little weakness by min. raising, hoping to trap him if he goes all-in again. Didn't work, but at least got BB to fold. I lead out with a 2/3 pot-sized bet on the flop, hoping to win right there. Obviously, that didn't happen, and RW888 went all-in (again). With a normal opponent, I'd be done here. But, thinking, I know a few things about my opponent. 1. He's going all-in at least 1/6 of the time: he can't always have the nuts. 2. He's bullied me off of the last two flops we've seen and will likely continue until I stand up to him. 3. The scary board gives him ample opportunity to bluff 4. Unless he has at lest one T, or pocket 4s, I'm ahead. So, the way I see it, I had to stand up to his all-ins SOMETIME, so I chose to do it when I held overpair. It didn't work, this time, but was reasonable play, considering his aggressive, bullying style. I'd like to hear feedback, though, to see if my call made sense.
