FPS/insane aggressioin with AA?

[Shillx]

There is quite a bit of fundamental misunderstanding here (not just from the OP). When you play AA like this preflop, you don't try for a turn check/raise. It becomes even more important as you move up that you don't make these kinds of plays since many people are willing to 3-bets on a 922r flop with hands like AK. The key to these hands is that YOU should be the one betting on 4th street. Those lines always get the most amount of $$$. Here is what you do...

A) Check/raise the flop.

Some players will just call the flop check/raise and then raise the turn with their best hands (QQ and KK). This allows you to get a 3rd bet in on a big street. Other players will 3-bet the flop with both good and so-so hands. You should then either call the 3-bet and donk the turn or just cap.

B) Check/call the flop and bet the turn.

Your turn bet out of thin air will often times get raised and that allows you to go for 3-bets. This is far better then going for a turn check/raise since the turn will get checked through a good % of the time when the bad guy has AK or whatever. It also allows you to get 3 bets instead of 2 when the villian has a good hand.

The best type of villian to do this play against is obviously aggressive (loose-aggressive is best), but I will admit that a loose-passive isn't the worst person to do it against. It is the tight-passive and weak-tight people that you have to play your hand fast against. I would side for capping aginst a 45/0 player though.

I agree and would also add that it's superior because it shows less strength than a turn c/r which will slow down many players even with a monster like QQ, especially as you play against players with better hand reading skills.
