Obvious set mine...but can we fold AA here?

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

BB ($96)
UTG ($135.75)
MP ($150.75)
Button ($101.15)
Hero ($99)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, A.
UTG raises to $4, 1 fold, Button calls $4, Hero raises to $16, 1 fold, UTG folds, Button calls $12.

Flop: ($37) 9, 6, 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $24, Button raises to $66, Hero raises to $83, Button calls $17.

Turn: ($203) J (2 players)

River: ($203) 4 (2 players)

Final Pot: $203


I shoulda bet $18-$19 PF. I hate betting much more because at $20 nobody calls, at $18 we get enough mistake making callers.

He didn't raise the original raiser. He calls my 3bet pf, then wants to get it AI on flop.

this is pretty much always a set, very occasionally a "slowplayed" KK. Very bad setmining mistake to call , as I much more likely am squeezing here, but I am new to table and villain would not know that.

Reading the hand tells me to fold but I've been such a nit with AA and KK lately I feel like I should call. But what else does he have here??

Of course we can't.

$16 is fine pre, $18 may be better who cares, at $16 the other opp didnt have odds to call for a set anyways.

from an UTG raiser, he'll show up w/ TT-QQ here some too so i play it the same.

button double flat called pf, UTG folded. I stack off with UTG without thinking.

meh im not folding . as marshall28 says all the time (and probably will say when he reads this thread), never fold TPTK in a 3 bet pot. idk if AA qualifies as TPTK, but whatever you get the point.

that wisdom makes sense to me will in the BvB pots and many other spots, but I feel his cards are face up here

sauce's post in the BvB alluded to if we can't be sure of his range/his range is wide in raised pots, we definitely can't fold. but his range seems sooooo thin here it feels so sick calling

i agree with you that in a lot of spots you are going up against a set, but its like, for whatever reason, he flatted otb twice, this could just easily be a sc as pp, plus he could be on some random retarded bluff, or have an over pair.

comon man

just admit that whenever you have AK and c-bet they do this with TT everytime

so get it in

im such a nit

I started calling a lot more in big pots this week listening to you guys and I'm up $1000. heh.

guess i gotta take the coolers with the guys misplaying their hands. I just used to stack off way too light with AA/KK and would lose tons, but I guess I've adjusted too far the other way

I just hate the feeling of "I know he has this and I'm beat" and calling and being right...and yes I know he could have other hands that flat twice pf, but I don't know of anything else shoving flop.

although a couple times today I was shocked with what ppl had, sometimes they just blow up

while u very well may have needed to loosen up your calling range in big pots (i have no idea), you have to be very careful of making these judgements based on a week of results

good point, its hard when finding your way when to adjust based on a new strategy, what is results and what should be kept. takes time and mindfulness.

are you saying that we cant make our judgements in big pots after a week of results because like, in a given week, we could just be running into set after set after 2p, etc?

Can someone stove us vs. Button please?

I don't care what you stove AA is always going to be a call on the flop.

Stoving this is totally irrelevant, as you can't stove two preflop raise flat calls. This is a unique situation.

(This post may seem moronic in the morning)

A stove is irrelevant because -

Any bet from anyone commits them - If we check we have to get it in because that increases our opponents betting range, if we bet we have to get it in because we commit ourselves, if we openfold we're retarded

can i ask what/pm me your handle is on stars.
