[Rockymv]

Should I have 3-bet preflop here? Button was a total idiot.

Once there is a cold caller behind the original reraiser i think its 3 bet time. You have at least one opp who likes his hand and another who just put $10 in cold behind a reraise.
I think i make this $25 at least to make it HU.

I didnt even read the hand history but ill always 3 bet with AA preflop. Ill try and get as much in preflop as i can when i know im ahead. If hes a total idiot then he'll hopefully pay me off with a very wide range preflop..l.. that also means i wont have a clue what he's hit (2 pair) postflop.


Ok now ive read it. Yea 3 bet. Nice big one too.

[outphase]

make it 25 because of the cold caller

Yeap, give it to 'em preflop! I wouldn't check the flop either, there's 2 to a straight there.

Should the 3-bet be a push? Serious question. This seems like a dream come true situation for AA.

[Miffed22001]

no you advertise too easily.
If one opp has reraised here with the range of AK/KK/QQ posibly JJ you want him to see a flop for a large amount. Pushing just scares em away. Yes they may hit a two outer but that happens little. The other option is now that opp pushes QQ/KK preflop which is fine for you. Plus if they only call they may fall in love with a low flop.

Ideally I agree, of course.
Two situations, though, i've found myself in:
1. When multitabling, and serious negotiations taking place on at least two other tables, i've found myself making this 3-bet push as the easiest way to play it and not get distracted from trickier action on other tables, and sometimes even the 2-bet push when a number of players have called a decent sized raise.
2. At 100NL and 25NL, not hardly at all at 50, i've seen players call this push with junk, half the time not even a pocket pair.
Thoughts?

This is a dream come true for every AA holder.You pray that someone holds KK/QQ/AKs/AKo.I would push in a heartbeat.
