Good-- at least I've got a good handle on the VPIP/PFR thing If I had those stats and this situation, I fold 95% of the time (the other 5% when I push I'm tired and didn't think enough).

I was mostly curious here as to whether or not anyone had seen this 'style' of AA play before, as I have seen it often enough at $10 NL and a little at $25 NL - not in $50 NL yet but it won't surprise me.
I've seen it (or suspected it), but not enough to make me think it's the "new" AA thing to do. Give it time. Makes some sort of retarded logic if you have a tight BB who won't even call a speculative hand OOP for 1BB-- no free flop for him. I still think it's a terrible play. Unless the guy's a fish or shortstacked, I'll just take this as a raise-reraise and drop QQ- and AK in this spot to a hefty 3bet. KK is tough-- I don't think I've had to do that yet (against a 100BB stack at least).

Evidently not...but here's an example...I don't make the laydown habitual...in fact that's the first time I can remember laying down KK preflop in ages, even when it's occassionally up against AA. Lucky guess this time I suppose, particularly with that 'rigged' flop
NH, sir-- especially without a read.
