    Default AA -- maximize value

    If I am willing to get it all in here regardless, should I just smooth call this flop and play the BB post flop. BB is 17/15 and playing TAG poker. I'm pretty sure you all can guess his hand.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($10.25)
    BB ($15.90)
    UTG ($3.60)
    MP ($1.95)
    Button ($17.25)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A.
    UTG raises to $0.2, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.7, BB raises to $2.25, UTG calls $2.05, Hero raises to $10.25, BB folds, UTG calls $1.35 (All-In).

    Flop: ($16.10) 6, 9, K (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: ($16.10) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($16.10) 9 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $16.10

    getting someone allin preflop is the best play you can do with AA.

    trying to live
    he must have a huge hand to re re raise so shoving it in is fine, not sure what he could have had to rereraise and thne fold

    I'm guessing QQ or JJ. He said he folded QQ later. I think he was concerned b/c my push was a 5bet and had to mean AA/KK.

    With the K on the flop, I'm not sure he stacks off here anyway. Just looking to maximize value vs. this TAG. As played, I figured he'd fold unless he held KK. I thought that was 50/50 with his range(KK/QQ with possible JJ). My image was TAGgy.

    I raise to $4.50, which puts UTG AI but makes it a lot more likely that BB calls. I think we're safe on the flop, so we get more value by making the re-raise something callable...the re-raise AI screams KK or AA. Then I just shove flop.

    I seriously doubt he folded KK, I can only really see him folding Queens, maybe jacks
