Here's a hand which shows the value of not automatically folding to a turn c/r on a paired board:

Re: Two AA - limp re-raise attempts
[ QUOTE ]
To try a limp-reraise, you need to be fairly sure that there will be a raise behind you. [/ QUOTE ] Not necessarily. To decide whether limp-reraising is correct with AA in a particular situation, you have to evaluate the action you're likely to get if you raise and compare it to the possibility of someone else raising if you limp. For example, suppose you estimate that if you raise, there's a 50% chance everyone else will fold (including the blinds). Now it is correct to go for a limp-reraise even if there's just a moderate chance that someone behind you will raise. On the other hand, suppose there's a few aggressive players behind you so that if you limp, there's easily a 95% chance someone will raise. That doesn't necessarily mean it's correct to go for a limp-reraise; you also have to consider how likely it is that you'll get three-bet if you put in the first raise. (In other words, even when there's an excellent chance your limp-reraise will "succeed", you might be able to get more money in the pot preflop by putting in the first raise yourself.) |

Re: Two AA - limp re-raise attempts
So, the short-term immediate answer would be to avoid moves that might set you on tilt. Isn't the long term answer to avoid letting your EV be handicapped by emotion?
One of my biggest problems is betting a thin river bets because I hate being check-raised. Hate it hate it hate it. I still do, but I'm getting better, and my river EV is going up. No matter how you play AA, it will be +EV in the long run. |

Results
Of course, in Hand 1, BB had a 9. 93s to be exact.
In Hand 2, LAG had KQo and calling station had -- can you believe this -- 99. In the "bonus hand" listed in my reply to slogger, the opponent had JJ. |

Re: Two AA - limp re-raise attempts
shouldn't the decision to limp be random? if you only do it in certain situations, it could be picked up on, right? also, it should be done VERY occasionally and only for deception. to decide what conditions are necessary, use the cards to make your decision, that way it is truly random. for example, limp every other time you get red aces, or every third time you get an ace of club, etc.
