AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
Party $400 6 Max
I have been raising quite a few pots, but have been showing down premium hands when making it to showdown. Villian in this hand has been playing most pots, but this is the first time that he has ever re-raised PF in the 3 hours I have been playing with him. He is about 40/8 over 250 or so hands. Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero: $600 Villian $550 <font color="red">Hero raises to $16</font>. <font color="grey">4 folds</font>. <font color="red">Villian Re-Raises to $40</font>. Hero Smooth Calls. Flop: (~$80) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Villian Checks. Hero Checks.

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
I hate the smoothcall preflop. If he hasn't reraised before, why not reraise him back and give him a chance to push?

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
I figure I am guaranteed to stack him if low cards come (unless he has AK/AQ), and villian could get away from TT-JJ/AK-AQ if I re-raise, but won't if he flops an overpair.

What do you think about the rest of the hand?

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
I like it. Preflop is a matter of personal preference, although you get yourself into sticky situations like this sometimes...but the benefits can be there. The turn call seems straightforward, although there is an argument for just getting away from it. You probably aren't getting any value on the river if the flush card hits. And the immediate odds aren't there. The river laydown seems pretty straightforward. Feels like K-K or Q-Q.

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
I guess you're right, it's really close...almost exact. Based on that, I call and fold to the river bet. If Villain has only reraised preflop once in 3 hours, I'd put him on a high pair (eliminating A-K), figure he flopped a set and bail on the river.

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
Looks good to me. A case could be made for a flop bet and a free river, but I think this gives you more information.

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
I don't like the smooth-call at all with that big stacks. With smaller stacks it would have been perfectly ok.
Rest of the hand good. |

Re: AA with Royal Draw: Line Check
Just make it $150-200 preflop. He has a premium hand, unlikely to release.
