Walking into a bear trap, can I get away?

I wouldn't consider this player exactly 'passive' postflop given how LAGgy he just overplayed his AA.

I hear yah B. But up until this point he had been a really passive player, just something about aces that brings out the best in them doesn't it?

So after these posts and the results have you decided that you played it the best way?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, confirms what I thought. River raise was pretty thin though, but definitely a play I make, still can't believe he thought AA was good there.

if he's unwilling to part with his aces and will even (horribly) 3 bet them this is an extremely profitable raise.

Yeah , where was his head at? The minimum Hand I have to raise the turn after he limp capped and raised his river bet is the straight. Im usually more than likely full there. AA is nowhere near good in that situation.

Yknow, I actually thought about this (thread) on the way home tonight. Sometimes there are passives who will go apeshit with rockets. Though they are rare. It's like they just get blinded by them. They figure that's the one hand they'll go down fighting with. Even though they wouldn't play the same way with AK on an A high board.

I might note that in my notes about him as something to watch for.

the fact that the K on board leaves more possibilities of AA than KK

[/ QUOTE ]

not true because hero holds an A in his hand, so chances of KK and AA are, at least mathematically, equal

Excellent point; I've never really considered this before.

Also, consider that CO may have been holding a K.
