fold pre?

if you fold, it looks like you call $ 40 for set value preflop?? :( I look him up and pay the man monies.

I'm calling this gentleman. I don't think we can discount lower overpairs, seeing as how the huge raise with 99 or TT is a common play from donks because OMG overcards will come.

I'm all for making a plan preflop but we get new information on later streets and sometimes it is better to hold our hands up and say "looks like i made a mistake preflop then" that it is to say "I called pre and this board is safe therefore I'm all in". We can change our plans sometimes, and it doesn't mean our preflop call was a mistake because we had different info at that time and we assigned a range to him based on that info.

I have a feeling fnord is going to come and say that this is a standard live poker line with AA and this guy is probs doing that.

I usually call this (reads help but 1st orbit is meh) and I'm not usually ahead. Maybe ahead enough times given odds though, so I'm happy with a call.

call

Given read you can't possibly find a fold here
