Default Folding AA?

2/5 game at Wynn.

Hero raises to $15 PF in EP with AA. An MP player calls, CO calls, and Villian on the button calls.

Flop is 995

Hero bets $25, folded to villian to raises to $60. Villian is a young guy who hasn't been seated long but has been playing tight. Hero reraises to $110, villian thinks for abotu 15 seconds and calls.

Turn is a 9

Hero checks, Villian moves in for around $180. Hero has villian covered, does he fold or call?

Very easy call. Getting better than 2-1 with the second nuts, you're just going to have to risk paying off quads.

Edit: Villain's all-in would have to be for about $750 before I'd even start to think about folding, and even then. . .

Call without thinking twice. The odds of him having quads are low enough to justify even a call of a much bigger bet for the same pot.

A no-brainer.

Is this a trick question?

A hero who folds here has no right to be called a hero.

i fold. i mean, even if he has 55 here he has an out. and if he hits that out, the tilt effect of being 1 outed will probably cost you your entire bankroll you have with you... i mean it sucks to be 1 outed. so i don't think it is worth the risk.

Why would Villain push with the 9?

Obvious call.

I was villian, I had the 9. The guy with AA called after agonizing about it. I didn't think he needed to.

I pushed with the 9 because he was the kind of guy I had squarely on AA/KK and figured I could stack him.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Either way I'm new to NL and genuinly didn't know if this was a tough/bad call or not
