Sweating Commerce 20/40: AAAA No Good? Or are they? (LC-ish)

[BoxTree]

Sweating Commerce 20/40 NL, 7-handed

CO (tourist) posts $40.

Folds to CO. CO checks. Button (regular) makes it $240 to go. Blinds fold. CO calls.

Flop (2 players, $540): A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

CO checks, Button checks.

Turn (2 players, $540): K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

CO checks, Button bets $200, CO calls.

River (2 players, $940): Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

CO bets all-in for just shy of $8,000.

Button looks at his cards, looks at the board, looks at his cards, looks at CO, looks at the board, laughs, sighs, and says, "I'll get you later," as he folds AA face up.

BB (another regular) says, "You should have called."

Button says, "Nah, for 8 grand, he can have it."

BB says, "Okay, then I should have called."

Button retorts, "Fine. Maybe you would have won."

BB concludes, "Maybe? I had the Jack."

So, the only content here is...do you ever call the tourist's all-in (assuming you have him covered)? Do you ever fold?

CALL. EASY CALL.

Not only is this not an easy call, this is no call at all in my opinion. I can't believe the number of people here who seem willing to call $8,000 in what was previously a $900 pot. What is all this emotional attachment to quad Aces? Yeah, quads are normally a very strong hand but everything has to be measured against the board and against that board and an $8,000 bet, quad Aces aren't so strong.

This has to be a bluff an awful lot to make calling correct and if it IS a bluff, you shouldn't have too hard a time getting the money from the bluffer later on.

i dunno i think id have to look into his soul first

When you say Button is a regular, do you mean a regular loser? He's not willing to stick his money in with the second nuts...against a tourist?

Seems like a pretty routine fold.

I don't even think twice.

This is a prime example of why poker is so lucrative right now.

This seems like a pretty obvious fold to me.

why not at least put the cards face up before folding to see how he reacts?
