Different Line for AA

young nut · #1 03-01-2005, 02:48 PM

I have been trying to work on my river aggression lately and thought this was a good situation to try it. This is not how I normally play AA from EP, but I decided to make a different move on the river. Usually I would just jam the river one more time, but I noticed that the other two players in the hand had high river aggression and avg. total aggression. Good line here on the river?

i'd probably just bet it, only because i'd feel like a total tool if it got checked through.

id prolly get more technical like this in a higher stakes game where the players are more tricky.
either way, nice hand

Congratulations that your line worked, but I'd probably just bet it though. You can probably get an overcall from a Q, making you 2 BB on the river. If you check-raise and its the last action who bets, then you still only get 2 BB assuming he calls your raise the utg+1 will fold to a river checkraise with anything less than kings.

your river play isn't good.

You risked making nothing on the river as *most times* this will just get checked through.

As CDC says, "betting is under-rated."

I think you can do this once, as a variation. But the vast majority of the time, you should just bet it.

If I were going to CR somewhere it would be on the turn.
