$109 AA, raised all in, what do you do?

[Moonsugar]

$109, first hand. You have no reads on any of the players involved.

You are dealt AsAd UTG, you raise 3x blind, MP and BB call your raise.

Flop comes KsJh7h and you bet the pot (t145). MP folds. BB raises all in (t955). What do you do?

[junkmail3]

Call. I think.

I push and pray.


Here is my take, FWIW. (YMMV.)

The smooth calls PF could be AK, QQ, or JJ. (I would expect KK or AA to reraise.) So there is only one hand you are really behind at this point, which is JJ, and if that's the case, so be it.

Villain might have AKh for TPTK and flush draw, but you would still be 65% favorite.

I just don't see how you get away from this.

Push all my chips in as quickly as possible.

Most likely hands for opponent:

1. AK
2. Flush draw
3. KJ
4. A set

Huh? Villain is calling only 30 from the BB closing the action. Impressed you can put him on one of only 3 hands....

I expect AK and some other flush draws. On this board, I don't see how I lay this down.

I agree with the hands, but since this was the BB doing the pushing (and BB got reasonable odds pre-flop) I would add the following hands to yours:

QT - more likely suited than not.
KQ
J7s (yes he might flip over this! I've definitely seen this sequence by a BB protecting his low 2-pair with a huge bet).

Even so, an easy easy call in my opinion.

I busted when I called and didn't improve to beat K7 of clubs.

I seen Gamboholic and some others at 215 and higher do these types of plays.

I think his play is interesting and may be something to try every now and then, mixed in with some bluffs. Not sure.

What you do is raise more preflop. 3xBB in level 1 is not going to get folds.

In a $109, yes it is. Still, 4x BB raise isn't bad here.
