Re: AA 2 handed
I'm not claiming to be better than you but here's my thought process:
The LAG could have all kinds of hands here, some drawish, some not Flat-calling is bad if he has a draw. He might get away from a missed turn, and you're not getting away from the turn if he hits. If his hand is not drawish, and you call, and the turn card completes a draw, that might scare him off his K-rag or something. Also, cold-calling him tells him you mean business, since you can't expect him to believe you are calling just so you can bluff the turn. However a raise might be a bluff in his mind (not ours) |

[/ QUOTE ] His flop overbet doesn't scare me, no way am I folding this hand vs this guy. Pot is big, you want to win it here. Calling is out of the question since there are so many scare cards on the turn that way either help him, or ruin your action. And there would be 0 turn cards you could fold to at that point anyways. Basically you have a good hand vs a guy who overplays his hands, makes dumb overbets, and you just stick it in there and hope for the best. |

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks to both you and HotPants for explaining your thoughts on the hand. Making the right decision is nice, but making any decision for the right reasons is much more beneficial to me as a player at this point. |

Re: AA 2 handed
don't play 6 max but I don't think you're getting away in the situation you describe so if he'll call a push w any K push otherwise you have the option of pushing to prevent a draw or sp'ing to hopefully let him bet off his stack to you. If you can't get away from this there's no point in waiting till the turn comes a blank.
Position is great here. |

[/ QUOTE ] Villain can have anything, so this is tough. LAGs get paid off by hands like yours, but I don't think you can fold. I think the decision here is between calling and check-calling the rest of the way or pushing. I'm leaning towards pushing because if he has anything he's coming along and many turn cards put you in a rough spot. |
