AA hand - routine play against LAG?

[Phaedrus]

Thanks for the replies. My thinking is along the lines of what all of you have said which is why I was baffled by this hand.

I didn't want to mislead anyone but I changed some of the hand details in order to get an "objective" opinion of how this hand was played.

The thing is that this wasn't my hand and it wasn't a 3/6 game. Hero is Doyle Brunson and Villain is Daniel Negreanu and they were playing 300/600 NL live for a televised program.

Negreanu had 88 and flopped a set and he won $178,000 off of Brunson's AA.

I'm sure there was lots of context that I'm not privy to but I just couldn't see how this play by Brunson made any sense no matter what Negreanu had been doing at the table or what his read was.

Well you didnt accomplish anything here.
Brunson is capable of going allin here with any draw. His play definitely makes sense here cause he can get a call from toppair or even some other crap. It wouldnt make sense in most 600NL games though.

Your supposition that you can just switch around the numbers and players and have the same rules apply is tremendously flawed.

Fair enough. I should have at least mentioned that Hero has an extremely LAG image as well.

I thought if I mentioned Doyle people would look for a way to justify the play instead of evaluating it on it's merits (and I didn't think anyone would believe that I was playing 300/600 :-)

It still looks to me like Brunson offered 50:1 odds against his stack by raising $3000 preflop and backing his aces with $175,000 more on the flop.

How does this line make any sense even at 300/600?
