    Default AA vs. two shortstacks

    Mostly I love shortstacks. This hand is an exception to the rule. In retrospect, it's pretty obvious that somebody has a set on the flop after the check/min-raise and call. However, against shortstacks it's harder to tell. At any rate, I know I would've been able to lay this down if these guys had more chips behind.

    Should I have folded the turn, despite the shortstacks and the good odds?

    I assume you meant flop, not turn? Unless the hand history is screwed up.

    I play it the same. You're getting almost 2:1 and they're unknown shortstacks. Could be AJ & QJ.

    Very standard, don't sweat it.

    Shorties are your friends when you have AA... (in no way trying to hijack the thread or posting a bad beat, just showing that shorties really can have anything!)
