AA 200BB deep

    Default AA 200BB deep

    I dont have any reads, since pretty much all the table was focusing on a megafish. This deep I really didnt want to build too big a pot, and my bet sizing was mostly to protect my hand but also to figure out where I stand. I felt like the turn check and river value were pretty standard. What do you think?

    he has AK 90% of the time IMO.

    So it's a matter of how much to bet. Your size seems good.

    you want to try to get all the money in here since is most likely hand is AK.

    on the reverse, he should be playing his AK like KKK or TTT so you will fold AA or AK

    I think your line is fine, i just bet the river a little less.

    Nice analysis, like how you went to the other side, you should, and all posters should, do that more often.

    Your bet size here depends a lot on your image IMO. If you have been aggro i think we should bet more, if you have been nitty bet what you bet.

    Sick Sick Sick spot.

    I usually check flop, not turn, in this spot but that's kind of irrelevant to the hand.

    This is pretty obv but Villain's only likely holding that calls river bet is AK and that hand is unlikely since you hold AA.

    If villain is any good, he's never C/C here but only CR with a monster or sicko bluff. He can be pretty sure you don't have KK since you didn't bet the turn so he knows it'll be a tough call even with 1010/JJ, which are both possible holdings of his.

    I'd check.

    At a tough table with all regs I think it'd be more worthwhile to go for thin value on river but when looking to milk I fish I'd be less worried about exploiting the regs.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    he meant postflop, obviously he wants to build a huge pot pre when he has the nuts

    No hindsight for the blind.
    I usually don't care about postflop when I get 15% of his stack in preflop with AA. This is a leak of mine, though, but I pretty much say to myself that "ok, so I never fold, now how do I get the most out of my hand when I'm still good?". I like your line, though the J is a pretty ugly card for us to bet at.

    Yeah, the J is ugly, but it'd be hard to believe that he'd call that flop with JJ. By the river it's ridiculously obvious he has AK.

    maybe it s just cuz you wouldn t have posted it if something weird hadn't happened...
