AA deep vs two morons

    Default AA deep vs two morons

    UTG is 60BB deep and a 75/20/3 moron. I have built my stack against him by calling his bluff with missed str8 on a flushy river w/ A high & then valuetowning him with my AA. He is probably calling me down light since I have made him lay down 2 hands already in med/big sized pots.
    MP is an unremarkable 32/2/1 over 40 hands and has built his stack vs. UTG by calling 7788 board w/ a T7 when UTG open pushed AK on the turn for $125. He slow played the flop in position w/ the trip 7's & FD.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($58.95)
    MP ($263.10)
    Button ($100)
    Hero ($208.85)
    BB ($100)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A.
    UTG raises to $3, MP calls $3, 1 fold, Hero raises to $15, 1 fold, UTG calls $12, MP calls $12.

    Flop: ($46) 7, K, J (3 players)
    Hero bets $42, UTG raises to $43.95, MP raises to $248.1, Hero calls $151.85 (All-In).

    Final Pot: $477.65

    How'd I do?

    i think you have to stick it in here. vs the UTG drooler its totally standard obv, but MP's line is just weird. I guess since his pfr is only 2 that he is doing this call/call thing more than most pre, but its still odd. with the board being super drawy i think your only option is to stick it in here. Youre getting ~2:1, and surely you have >30% vs MP's range here
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    In case is matters, I should have added that MP thought for about 10 secs before shoving. I don't think he made it to the time bank, but it certainly wasn't an instashove.

    yea the board is drawy enough and it's entirely possible MP has AK, getting all in here is what u wanna do.

    Probably not tbh. I don't see a set why a set wouldn't flat call the shorty's raise. Plus our minimal read that we do have of the guy with a good hand is he's a slowplayer. I'm pretty stubborn with my aces though.

    OK, I agree. What if MP flats? Do we have to push over the UTG's tiny raise? I would think so.

    at that point, you cant push over his raise because it wasnt atleast a minraise.

    Yeah, you're stuck calling, and then just push most turns.

    No shit? I've been playing for how long and didn't know the rule on this.
    Thanks for all the input so far.

    For those who care, the results in white below:

    OK so the villain pushed, I called and he flips up 8c9c. A club hits the turn so I'm not thrilled but I hit an A on the river. . . the A of clubs, so I know I'm very likely beat. Oh well. MP took down the $475 pot w/ a 9high flush.


    I just wondered if anyone considers laying this down since the passive raised all in and I was pretty deep.
    How about my flop bet? I went with a strong bet to "bluff" UTG as I'd been running over him a decent bit. I figured it might widen his calling range, but I wasn't expecting MP to wake up. Would anyone else play this different with a smaller flop bet and consider a fold later?

    You got your money in good and had a bad result. Don't second guess yourself here.

    I think you played well. Their were a ton of hands you could beat.

    It's the 9 high flush dude that made a bad play. What was he thinking?

    I don't think his play is bad at all esp. with all that dead money in the middle.
    That said, I also don't think he knows that pushing a GSSFD is good vs. AA with dead money. Afterall, he raises 2% of his hands ~ good strat moron.
