Go Broke with a set, But what if he has aces

[Mercman572]

no reads on villain other than he has been very aggressive from all positions and has not had to show down many hands. he won with q3o twice but thats all i remember.

only thing he might have that beats me here is AA. But then again I don't know how often people limp raise AA in mid position rather than early. should i lay this down bc of a probable set over set?

[chiachu]

i dont think i could find a fold here

[jtr]

I'm not saying I'd fold, but jeez, it really stinks of AA.

The limp re-raise was not a standard thing for him, right? And when you say he was aggressive, did that include semi-bluff pushing on a broadway board with a hand like AK or KK?

[lange101]

He could have done that same move with AK or JJ. Honestly, I'm going broke here every time. I usually go broke if someone has a set over my set. I only lay down a set with multiple people all in. I think it does smell of AA... but you'd also be surprised how many times it is not AA. Unless I have a read on the player and I am absolutely sure that he has a set of aces, then I call.

[pokerjoker]

im callin this one. My guess is

50%ak
25%aj or unlikely aq
10%nothing at all
15%aa

[Mercman572]

like you could probably guess, villain did in fact have AA, and he took it down with AA full of jacks vs my Q's full. Is calling here really +EV when he bets anouther 100 to me in what was a $30 pot? I know its a 70 into 100 call but still am I ahead here often enough to be making this call? I really have not been paying alot of attention to villain and PT can't act in real time since it's paradise (I'm beginning to think this is hurting EV). I really think the only hands that make sense here are 1: a total bluff, 2 AQ (unlikely), or 3 AA

push what? open pushing this flop would leave few mistakes for villain to make. pushing preflop would probably mean a call from better hands (AA-KK), and a fold from worse ones. I'm assuming this is a joke post

I'm sure he means calling for all his chips.
