I'd say SB has at best AKclubs. As for BTN.. thats another story. I agree with Euph that button could have us beat, but I think this is potentially a draw/strong jack often enough, and we have outs, that I stack with this.

Good analysis. I actually had a similar spot with AK/oc/fd that I posted from the same night. I don't know why I didn't think along those lines.

Renton, The guy would have to be an absolutely mad to play aces like this -- minraise out of the SB for a sure 5 way pot, then a flop check? I've just never seen an overpair minraise out of the SB at 100NL--I've seen crap like that at lower buy-ins, maybe there's more donks than I realized at this stake? I just don't see how this is an overpair. I think if he's minraising out of SB w/ aa, he's going to continue his slowplay and probably minraise button.

The more I think about it, the more it seems like calling is correct, even though it would have to be a pretty badly played hand by SB overall.
