PP NL $400 Hand - AA in BB

[HatesLosing]

He will raise suited connectors preflop too, it's just that he's not going to raise them to 4.5 x BB very often. More like 3 - 3.5 x BB when he does, and if he wasn't in MP but was in LP, his raising standards would drop SIGNIFICANTLY.

I think the point was that AK, 99+ is not a "large range of hands".

If you group a person's raising standards simply by saying "These are the hands they will raise", then that is an INCREDIBLY tight range of hands. If you instead say "What range of holdings will make up 90% of this man's hands when he makes a 4.5 x BB raise from MP with a limper in front of him", then that range is not so tight.

Of course AK and 99+ with 77/88 mixed in now and then don't make up 100% of his holdings in this scenario, but that is pretty much what you can put him on here and probably make up at least 90% of the holdings he could have. Against a good player, you can rarely say "This is what he has 100% of the time here".

But back to my question, as we seem to be getting hung up on things that have absolutely nothing to do with my question: Thoughts on whether or not this is a spot to trap maybe 33% of the time or not?
