Very confused...Pairs of aces

[fjuanl]

Both are $20 1 table $20's...

1. opp has played about 80% of hands in 1st two blind levels. Got the chips by calling a raise UTG+1 with T9s, checking a turned flush and raising a river bet. This was definetly not expected...just from the flop action it just seemed like he was really weak....

2. Opps stats were about 20/10'ish. I had raised about 4 times in the last 2 orbits after playing really tight early. Really don't know what to think about this...just clueless

Shove the 1st, if he has 2 pair so be it. If he has 55 you can spend the next few minutes abusing him n the chatbox. I just can't bring myself to fold this even to the dreaded minraise.

Call the 2nd. There is no way he is doing this with a set or a big A. I'd say he has a fd. This really looks like a stop 'n' go.

Hand#1: I dont think folding preflop is a bad idea here, I dont see many hands that you beat playing this way, he probably has AJ or AK
Hand#2: I call this, I think you are ahead more often then you are behind

[jimmy44]

hand 1: I'll fold, he most likely has AK/AJ or maybe a set.
hand 2: A difficult one, but as ShowMeAtlas said, this seems to be a stop'n'go. So I'll call.

and a horribly misused stop n go at that

[Renton]

isn't reraising preflop the right play in hand one?

This early I will probably fold and not reraise

Brilliant, advice of the day!

TLR - I'm surprised you're folding AQ in hand 1 though thinking about it I can see why. Anyone prefer a call / raise?

This early I dont like calling with AQ, I would open raise with AQ, but with a limp and a raise before meand the blinds yet to act I really dont like it.
If you call pot is 255 and BB and limper has to call 60 into 255, thats better then 4:1, so they may call with pretty much any 2, and you find yourself in a 4 way pot, with not real idea where you are.

The problem with reraising here is the initial raiser range: Without a read I would probably put him on 88+, AK-AJ, KQ. I am ahead of AJ, KQ, flipping with 88-JJ and behind AK,AA-QQ, so I dont like my chances here

Reraise preflop.

Flop: Bet a bit more, 300. Check the turn if you're unsure about what to do with a c/r. Get a river bet in if he checks the river.

hand 2: lol, weird bet. I think I'd call. Doesn't seem like he wants a call.

[drmcboy]

I like jfish line for hand 1. as played I think I have to fold. Call hand 2.

If he has 55 you can spend the next few minutes announcing you're a tilting table coach and maybe helping him play better next time

FYP

[donkbee]

Hand 1: has villian been raising a lot of hands though? Or is he just calling a lot? Generally speaking, I would fold to AQ to a raise preflop early in a SnG. I agree with the people who say to reraise if he's been loose with his raises though.

Looks like two pairs, gotta fold.

Hand 2: definitely calling.

Easy there captain, it was just a joke.

[JeffreyGB]

Hand 1: The most reliable read I've gotten is that check-call followed by check-raise is a big hand. I do not ever remember seeing this line when this was not true. So I like a fold. I agree with the call preflop if opp had been limping a lot of hands; if he'd been raising a lot, then I reraise.

Hand 2: Looks like an easy call to me. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned over a flush draw.
