I'm just saying i aint letting this one go...Could be AQ,AK,QQ+...

[dalecooper]

It's interesting to think about opponent's 3-betting range here. If it's only QQ+, you're dead even with him - 50/50. If you add AK your equity jumps up to 58%, which isn't bad. Add JJ instead of AK and it's 60%. So you're only really in trouble against super-tight opponents, but you're not exactly in a dominant position against most standard players, either... that's a bit of a quandary. I guess that's why most players just push & hope.

[Stripclubjunkie]

Hero could call and see a flop...

[dalecooper]

That's another possibility. A lot of players will do this with KK. I actually did this just the other day and the nice thing was, I think it helped me destack the guy (he had QQ). He might not have shoved all his chips in the pot if I had three-bet before the flop. But I smooth-called and then check-raised all in on a rag board, and he must have thought I was getting cute with something like nines or tens. On the other side, if the flop comes out with an ace you can safely roll over and die, since you're now likely to be behind his range (although still ahead of QQ).

[crushednuts]

Plus if you see a flop and the guy has AA and hits a set you can easily dump it. Just gives you another way to avoid going broke when you are against AA. If you push all in before the flop he is probably going to dump any weak holding and only call if he has AA. If you see a flop you may be able to check raise and get it all in from other parts of his range.

I think reraising all in after the other guy 3 bets you is a huge leak in alot of players games. at least 90% of the time the pot gets to be like $40+ pre flop in a $25 NL game someone has the aces. Much more profitable to just call the bet and see a flop IMHO.

[fasin8ing]

This has to be the hardest hand for me to play right now. I have been up against QQ alot or suited shit hands. Whats terrible about my play with K K-

My stack will be 25 bucks..
I often re raise strong - 3 to 4 times their raise. Which is usually 1.00 .

leaves me with 21 dollars.

If I get a caller I c bet. pot = 9 bucks.

I c bet maybe 5 bucks.

stack = 16 dollars.

Q hits on the turn.. I take it as if they have A Q.. I c bet maybe 8 bucks.

stack = 8 bucks...

They re raise..

stack = 0

[WildBobAA]

I wouldn't start making this fold until you hit 200NL. There are so many guys at 50NL that will stick it in with TT-QQ/AK/AQ

[crushednuts]

Not saying to fold preflop. Just call, take a flop, analyze the board, then possibly commit your stack. Gotta be careful not to out think yourself tho.

There are so many guys at 50NL that will stick it in with TT-QQ/AK/AQ

i was going to say this

[Greedo017]

i find this to be untrue. got a few hands as examples? i think if you start going back through your hands where you got 3bet, you might find a couple where they didn't have aces, but the majority of the time, they do.

1 out of 27 times is totally irrelevant here.

[gabe]

i could find hands of people getting allin preflop at 600nl with AK and less, i know i could it at 50 and 100. i dont have pokertracker on this computer, but im sure someone else could post lots of hands of this happening.

[dalecooper]

Bear in mind this is more specific than a guy going all in. He raised first, then when a limper re-raised him he 3-bet... and WITHOUT going all in. In fact it's a weakish 3-bet, just another $6 on top of hero's $4 re-raise. This doesn't scream AK/AQ/TT to me. Going all in here would be one thing, and calling all in yet another thing... this is different.

[theDEEPdish]

I think in most situations ive come across 25 nl and 50 I"m usually praying for them to have KK here and only on friday do they have TT

[theDEEPdish]

You guys have all just been out of the loop of small stakes for to long

psshh high rollers

I've folded KK twice so far @ 25nl to a 3 bet and both times villian showed down AA. I fold. If they are 3 betting with this range i will have their money in due time.

[sunfunbunch]

I ran into a 'similar' hand two days ago.

This was 25nl 6max so keep that in mind. Everyone in this hand has about full stack sizes.

MP raises to 1.50 and CO calls.
I think and reriase to 7.5 (i REALLY wanted that cold caller to fold)

MP (the oringial raiser) shoves all his chip and the first caller folds.

I write "gammboool KK vs AA" and call his all in.

Guess what he had?
AQs.

I don't want to come off too picky (or weak/tight) but there are some critical differences here. 1, it's 6-max. That's an incredibly different game than full ring, even at the same stakes and site. 2, again, the guy raised all-in - he didn't just 3-bet for less than his full stack. My buddy and I call that small re-raise the "please go all over my head bet" because that is its intended function most of the time. When you raise pre-flop and someone re-raises you by not much more than your raise, it's not because they're testing you - especially at low stakes. It's because they're ENCOURAGING you to put them all in. And when they do that, they usually have you beat.

[sunfunbunch]

I agree, that's why I said "This was 25nl 6max so keep that in mind.".

My point was that it's not "always" AA.
I can see villian pulling the same move in my hand with AA as well, instead of reraising small.

If Hero would have raised preflop, he probably would have been raised preflop and lost anyhow with THAT flop.

Or villian just calls, and hero loses a good chunk anyhow.

Point taken though.. there are difference.

HERO said he accidentally limped:
How would this hand played if he had raised preflop (as he intended to do).

[KoRnholio]

I find that the typical 50NL player is quite passive pre-flop, only 3-betting a very tight range. Unless you have reason to think the guy 3-betting has a donkish streak, giving thought to folding wouldn't be a bad thing.

As played I would probably call and take a flop with it and see what happens.
