Did I play this AA correct??

Just_Like_on_TV · #1 08-06-2005, 03:44 PM

Villain had played maybe 20 hands at the table (stats hadn't shown up through PAHUD yet), but turns out he is SuperLAG 87/50/4 in 23 hands. I did realize that he played any 2 cards coupled with the fact he was in the BB.

Question regards play on all streets. I just called on the flop hoping to get bet into on the turn in order to raise it then assuming no spade or possibly a 3. Was I too passive not capping, should I have released it? etc. etc. Thanks in advance.

I would 3-bet the flop and keep raising from there on out. I am pretty sure you have the best hand in this situation.

Frankly I fold the flop. If they're willing to bet and raise into the PFR on a board with just twos and treys you can pretty much count on being a two outer to a set.

I had a hand almost exactly like this yesterday, with a maniac and instead of one other person in the pot, there were 3. and my 9s full of kings took down the capped on every street pot. I don't think it's wrong to stay in this pot, why do you say "no" shadow?

If BB was a normal player, he would have either a Three or an overpair and your winning or a Two and your losing.

On the River, since another Two came, chances are much better that your winning than losing, and especially since BB is a maniac, go ahead and Raise.

I would raise the flop and if the flop raiser comes back over the top, consider a call down. He may have 33, something with a duece, or another pocket pair. Protect your hand from those behind you and force those in the pot already to identify theirs. I really can't see any reason to fold this hand.
From the action, I put SB on a 3, UTG+1 on a flush draw, and BB on the aforementioned possibilities. This means it is less likely that he has a 3, and more likely he has a 2. Oh well, see a showdown.

They can have pocket pairs, they might bluff because no big card hits...
I think folding is horrible here, but i can be wrong of course [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I think it's raise >> call >>>>> folding. Am i way off?

You're probably right, especially with reads. With normal people I'd fold this since a raise doesn't exactly indicate 3x or a flush/straight draw. Maniacs confuse me since they always seem to draw out on me anyway [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

What do we know about SB? Willing to bluff? Bets flush/straight draws?

So you did not know BB was a huge lag? If you knew then I would 3bet the flop and raise the river.
