Looks like 99-AA, and you are a 80/20 favorite against that range. I like it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn over A2s or AT here from time to time, but I think it is much more likely he has an overpair or set.

The turn is the tricky spot. Since you slow-played the AA preflop, your flop C/R probably tells him you have a T, so he may think his AT/JJ-KK are the nuts. So it's hard to interpret the meaning of his turn raise. So overall, the 3-bet is probably okay, not sure.

If he raises the river after all that previous action, you still think your 1-pair is good? Granted, folding for one bet in this big pot with aces sucks, so I'm not sure what I would do if he raised the river, but can calling a raise be automatic?

good

AA is the second nuts here

I think the turn if fine, I'm just wondering if we still like our hand if villain then raises the river. After the turn action, I think our hand is good. If he raises the river, he would have to have exactly 99, nothing else makes sense. So I guess we have to pay off.

if villain raises the river i dont like AA but youre getting huge odds to call

AA is behind 55, TT, 33, 44, 99, T5, T3, T4, T9, 53, 54, 95, 43, 94, 93, and A2. So it's actually the 17th nuts by my count.

I like post-flop here, and I guess I'll keep my pre-flop thoughts to myself.

Edit: And 76, so it's the 18th nuts.

Only one hand on that list is a realistic hand for villain. TT. As for preflop, there's a thread with extensive discussion about the call-cr blind defense method.

Doing this with AA is miles away from doing it with AK. IMO You give up tons of value by not getting bets into the pot.

This exact thing was already discussed in the other thread.
