Very unorthodox AA hand
This is a line I've never used before and might not use again, so feel free to tell me it sucks...just be specific as to why. The hand is from memory so bear with me.
2/3 of the way through a Bodog 109 - maybe an hour from the bubble - at 150/300/25 or so. My table image sucks because I've been getting picked on by the LAG behind me every time I limp/raise and missing every flop, so this time I open limp AA in LMP with maybe 4K behind. Of course he folds and I'm heads up with the BB in a 900-ish chip pot. The flop comes something close to A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (monotone, no straight draw, I have top set). He leads 450, 1/2 pot or so, into me. I badly want to double up here to take the LAG on later with a real stack, so I think about how to do that for a while and wind up just calling. So the turn is a 5 of bricks, he checks, I shove for maybe 1.5 times the pot. Thoughts? (I was very tempted to just skip what I had and ask people to put me on a range when I was typing this out) |

Re: Very unorthodox AA hand
I love it. So many worse hands will call you and not have odds to, while they might on the flop. If he folds he doesnt have a hand you can really make more money off anyway (sometimes he might call a small river value bet if its a blank, but the reward more than makes up for it).

Re: Very unorthodox AA hand
Sure. This is a line I take often given the right circumstances (like the ones present in your hand). I can see a lot of Aces calling here, perhaps a flush draw/pair hand.

I like it.
I dont see what is not to like here. Even if he is trying to sucker you in with a flopped flush, your redraw value is decent. |
