    Default Folding aces

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP1 ($111.30)
    MP2 ($37.15)
    CO ($101.50)
    Button ($157.65)
    SB ($107.95)
    Hero ($199.70)
    UTG ($143.40)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    UTG calls $1, 2 folds, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, SB (poster) completes, Hero raises to $5, UTG calls $5, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls $5.

    Flop: ($20) T, 4, 8 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $15, UTG raises to $30, SB folds, Hero raises to $45, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $95

    I've probably got an aggressive image, I bet out close to all pots that I've raised preflop and I get most of them. The player who raises me here is pretty tight, and I think he made the call with a pp. I'm wondering what you think of my play here, should I fold after his raise, or is the re-raise good to see where I am at? I'm thinking he might raise me here with JJ, 99 or lower pp thinking I don't have anything.

    The Raise/Fold-out-of-turn line is weak. I barely ever use it unless i am feeling charitable.


    Edit: By the way, if this was a real HH, i still would not fold AA there. You are too likely to have the best hand. You said your image is loose. Why would a good player not try to buy you off this with JJ or 99? Why WOULD a good player say "Hey man, i have a set, fold your AA" by reraising again after you've already defined your hand as an over pair?

    after UTG's first raise, you have to either put him on a weaker hand or a better hand. A 3bet (which is exactly what you did) will not gain anything. You either need to push or fold at the raise.

    1) Good re-raise.

    2) Don't fold immediately after you re-raise.
