thanks.

Yeah, not much you can do. nh.

With effective stacks at 1050 and 900 in pot on the flop I just shove. This is fine though, pay him off every day of the week.

And twice on a Thursday

On a side note is it good to play aces the way he did? Obv it worked well against me but how often are you screwing yourself over and letting another hand hit? Also the table had been playing VERY tight.

15/6 or so. Which may have been why he decided to go this route. Also opponent is known to be a P5r

Stack sizes as they are, I guess flat calling with aces isn't too bad. I can't see that there's much you fold UTG after raising so I still prefer a push unless he wants to play in a 3+way pot.... I'd push twize as fast though if he's a reg, I'm suprised to see aces here.

I would still shove over preflop. Say the flop comes KQT, you're probably not c-betting that flop and will c/f, but you're pretty much priced in to call if he shoves preflop. And, as you say, if the flop comes 9xx then he's put the majority of his chips in as a huge underdog if he waits until the flop to get 'em in.
