AA UTG 5 callers
Bugsysclub $50+$5 Mid tournament.
100/200/25 My question is how too play AA in EP when: you have a bunch of callers, the stacks are deep, and the board is dangerous. Table is not too tight. Stack sizes range from T12,000 to T25,000. The CO has me covered. Hero has T17,000 and is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero opens for T600. MP2 Calls, CO Calls, Button Calls, BB Calls. Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Pot has T3,400. BB checks. Hero bets T3,400, Folded round to CO who raises to T6,800, folded round to Hero?? CO is a tight player, not likely to make a move, and has at least AJ here. Villain probably perceives Hero as capable of opening with two big clubs or AJ+. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: AA UTG 5 callers
Push. I think your PF raise was slightly small, but you still ended up heads up. Given your description of the opponent, you may well be behind, but this is a hand and situation to commit to.

Re: AA UTG 5 callers
If I push here he's folding AJ, and QQ. He's only calling KK, 22, 33.
I can't make him for JJ without raising PF. I decided to call, and push a club, and check/call the rest. Is this too weak?

Re: AA UTG 5 callers
When stacks are deep and blinds are small try limping UTG with
pocket Aces. Hopefully somebody will raise and you can define your hand better. With deep stacks some players will call with what seems like any two cards trying to bust you. If you limp and you don't like the flop then fold. Ain't no law that says you can't fold two Aces. Bruce

Re: AA UTG 5 callers
I hate this answer. Mind you, I'm not saying it's wrong, I just hate it. In my limited experience, you get much more grief letting limpers call your AA than the increased profit. Really, what flop are you looking for versus several limpers? AAx? Sure. Axx rainbow? Yup. Any coordinated board? No. Paired board? No. Just knowing I might face three or four callers makes me uneasy as my probablity of winning plumets.

Re: AA UTG 5 callers
Check calling is giving them free/cheap cards to fill up their hand. Why would you push a club? Just curious, not necessarily disagreeing. This isn't that scary a board, despite his actions, so you may be too passive here.

Re: AA UTG 5 callers
Your looking to reraise by limping.
You need to be able to fold AA if you catch a lousy flop ie. 678 of hearts and you have black Aces. If you can't fold AA then don't ever do this. I only do this, and it's only sometimes, when it's early and my 3-4X raise means nothing and they all come anyway and it's impossible to put them on a hand. At a table where a raise means something then I will raise with them. Bruce
