I need a plan - AA 200NL

[Arbogast]

This is one of my major problems lately, and I've been thinking alot about it.

It seems that when you raise ep and get callers, they are usually holding pp and trying to hit sets. So...

You bet the flop, and usually take it down right there. But...when you get action, they can definately beat overpairs.

My advice is to try to control the pot, and just call his gay $2 bet.

I think his re-raise screams i can beat TPTK. Act accordingly.

I dont know lol

The way the flop was played was really weird.
How can afford to clown around with that tiny $2 bet like that with just a king? It really looks like he's trying to get you to raise.

This ones got me confused

I had a hand exactly like this at .25/.50c 6-Max on UB this morning... Raised AQ utg while I was lagging it up and got called by the SB... this donkey who loved to min bet and min raise and wouldn't get it in without the nuts.

Flop came KQ7 and he bet 70c into a $7 pot... I called not wanting to raise it since I doubted he'd fold anything

Turn was a 5 and he bet $1.5 into a $9 pot... I called

River was another 5 and he fired full pot at me... I figured he was trying to shove me off the hand with a busted J10 straight and called... and he showed me 777 and took it.

Bad players don't make sense... it doesn't mean they don't have hands and it doesn't mean they'd even dream of folding.

Make a larger raise PF.

Usually minbetting and then reraising screams monster. I am almost certain you are beat, but this is very difficult to get away from. Also, the donk may be doing this with a hand you beat like a naked K...I don't know, I probably lose my stack here.

The min-bet/3-bet is very often a monster. I think I might be able to find a fold on this dry board, but maybe I am weak tight. Another thing to consider is that a PFR and then a continuation bet usually represents AK, so your opponents will often play their hands as if thats what you hold. In other words, they can usually beat TPTK if they raise with an Ace or King on the flop, especially with no draws out there.

Bottom line.. you ain't folding on the flop. Also, re-raising is bad against the vast majority of players (90%+).

I want you to call and then play poker on the turn (this is probably going to involve becoming more committed).

Can someone please elaborate for us more ignorant members, why exactly we call the $2 bet here? Is this case dependent? Is it because there are no draws on the board? Trying to keep worse hands in?

This is an instance where i find myself almost always RRing here and it feels wierd but i dont know why i would be calling instead.

i think because of the amount of the bet was so small that we're most likely facing a monster just trying to extract value

With no read I count on the idiot factor.

With no read I am more inclined to fold than to push.

I think you sacrifice too much value here by doing this.

Call the flop and push any non-K turn.

This is probably the most defualt line w/ an overpair w/o reads, but this spot sucks. You are either way ahead or have 2 outs. 3-betting the flop is bad because he'll never fold a hand you beat and you make sacrifice value from AK if he can find a fold on the flop.

I dunno, call and hope he donk bets the turn = weak king and push?

Nah man of course you should raise his $2 bet. That's like a [censored] check. Once he pops it again you shouldn't reraise, cause of standard reasons, worse hands will fold, better hands stack you.
