If he's a 2+2er, this is probably his thought process. If I just cold call this, there is a good chance someone will try a squeeze play. Then I will reraise and he will be like wtf, who plays AA that way.

If you think he plays good, push. See if he sticks it all in w 99.

btw, if he plays good, the only hand im scared of here at all is AK - but i think that is rare.

fear meaning thats what you think he would play like that, or fear meaning you hope he *doesnt* have that hand?

LA means the only hand we hate to see that he is likely to play like this is AK. If he has JJ or TT then we're really not in that bad of shape, and the size of the pot certainly dictates that we should move in and pray he folds.

fear meaning i think ak is less likely to play this way, but i think its player dependent.

ak in position here i think most good players raise more often because (a) a set plays much better multiway than tptk and (b) theres not so much money in the pot that a raise completely comitts you even if you do hit tptk and (c) such a loose raiser might call anyway and TT and JJ much be harder to play on a Q/K high flop with some but not much action.

Or he could be thinking, you're squeezing with some random hand and decide that by 3-betting he's going to represent a donkish AA or KK, and assumes you will fold everything other than AA or KK.

I played a very similar hand to this, where some LAG opens for 80, 5 callers. I raise pot with AKs from BB. Folds back to last caller, who shoves. I called and he had QT. Now that's not to say shoving in James282 is automatic, but I think that if he plays decent, his range in this situation is alot wider than just AA or KK.
