Deepish stacks AA

    Default Deepish stacks AA

    This is kinda the setup for the hand i'm going to show you, i sensed weakness in him raising the minbettor, so i re-raised him with my flush draw. I didn't think he would horribly misplay QQ and actually call me, but i sucked out and hit my flush on the river. He was really angry about this and steamed for a while, i then asked him why he didn't raise QQ earlier, and he tried to lie about his hand and say he had something else, which is important for later.

    unreal

    Then this hand comes along, we both have almost two buyins at the table, which is dangerous for AA. I'm not sure if i was too passive here and should have just come overtop of him, which is what i almost did. But he was had a 25% vpip and he didn't raise much, and i didn't want to put in 190 bb w/ just an overpair, so i folded. AFterwards he told me he had a flush draw, i'm not sure that i believe him. So yeah just critique this hand and tell me what you would've done given the information i gave you about this palyer, and the stack sizes.

    You bet 115 and I dont think you were trying to get him to fold, so the raise made you nervous. What made hand would he have that is consistent with him calling your pf raise and your other bets?

    After the flop he check/call, then check/raise.

    He may have a set, however I suck at snifing out sets. That's probably the opposing hand that I give most of my lost money away on.

    Tough laydown with that board but he may have called with his low/mid pp, called again and then hit.

    I personally would have pushed back, but then again, my game is still very much under construction

    I'm not good with all the pokertracker numbers so I don't know what kind of range of hands that means he plays.

    However... I play 45 suited, 67 suited, 66-99 as well as occassionally 79 suited or 8T suited just like he did. Especially with 2 big blinds in there. After you raised, he had the SB calling, and he called hoping flopdanutz would call as well.

    I guess it's possible he had something like A9 suited but I think he woulda bet out with that on the flop. He hit the flop and had one of the above hands is my bet. Good laydown.

    i think he had a set of 9s, i doubt he had a big pair cuz he prolly woulda reraised you preflop cuz i doubt he has much respect for you. usually when u hold a big pair and you limp utg you plan on reraising, not just calling. then he raised you on the turn when the 3 came out because it completed a straight draw and he got scared. 99 sounds about right good laydown

    edit: a draw also makes sense since he didnt raise the flop w/ that draw heavy board, maybe he decided to change it up w/ 45s since you had a caller before him so he had decent odds? i doubt he had just a flush draw, maybe a OESD w/ FD?
