NL5 AA

Posted 8 years ago

Today was one of those days that varience striked me, I had to stop playing do to 5BI loss, you all now how it is on those days.

he had 14/11/1
raise to cbet 0 actually never raised a bet on flop in 502 hands

I see him doing this with a set, not even with a semi bluff like (AJh) given that he checked the turn.

What do you guys think?!

If he's aggressive enough then this would be a good spot to check the flop to induce but with all the reads you have on him i'd bet/fold the flop. Even if you have a BDFD you don't have any implied odds to get paid.

You showed strength raising UTG and then cbetting this nasty flop so I'd fold. (Ahere in your hand isn't a good thing since you do block his nut-flush draws even though he doesn't semi bluff)

^That's good advice. He seems like a super passive nit, and when this player raises it's usually because they have a monster.

B/f flop is fine against this player type and not weak at all.

And another vote for bet/fold flop. Listen to your opponents. If villain is telling you very honest story of a 14/11 nit who never raises the flop unless he has the nuts there's nothing wrong in letting AA go on such a wet board texture.

It's just a horrible flop for our hand, especially out of position. Villain is repping a set so strongly and with that bet size, and since you block a lot of bluff draws. Open folding (which I wouldn't do!!) would actually be easier than deciding how to play it. We are never happy on the turn so either bet-fold, or check-call with a view to shutting down on almost any turn card. There will be plenty of times we can make money with Aces we don't need to hold on to them here. As played it's a correct and easy fold on the river.

Think MattVIP nailed it for me, villain is telling you he has it, he doesn't tell fibs, so as hard as it is sometimes just sigh, fold flop and move on.

My dog would hear the sigh and go hide Laugh

Thanks guys, I think I was probably a little frustrated from the bad run on that day that's way I did that call, hoping to strike an Ace on the turn.

I think its even a flop we can think about check calling , we don't want to build a big pot here and your not going to price out draws . You can always pick up a street maybe two small streets of value later on once we avoid horror turns and villains equity goes down dramtically with his draws.

Sorry i need to add , as played id fold the flop with your reads there is no reason to think hes doing anything other than raising for value.

This is a really bad board for AA, I'd very likely be checking here a lot of the time intending to x/c down on a lot of runouts. Villain seems super tight though so I wouldn't expect too many bluffs so I don't think it would take too much to get me to fold on this runout. As played, well this is kind of why I like to check. Getting raised on the flop really sucks and there isn't much you can do about it even if villain is bluffing lots because of the massive amount of value combos he has (88, 99, TT, T9, QJ, combo draws). His range should be even more value heavy when you hold the nut flush blocker.

As played on the flop I think I'd just fold to the raise and definitely fold to the river bet.
