AA, scary flop, how do you play this? ($27)

[taipan168]

Early, no solid reads but my HUD for opp was showing something like 10/0 over the first 10-12 hands.

How is my line on every street? This felt horrible and passive but I wasn't really sure what else I could do. Fold the river? Tough to do getting 4:1.

I might just check flop, but this is fine.

I hope you are kidding about folding river, you just drew out on two pair.

Sorry, I meant to say fold the turn, getting 4:1 I am pretty much never folding the river.

The only place where there's a decision to make is the turn, you could fold if you're pretty sure you're beat, but I'm not. You raised from the CO, bet the flop, checked the turn. It looks like a pot for sale, I can't assume I'm beat if he bets. I think my line is a blocking bet on the turn, 250? It's not much less than what we ended up paying anyway, but we can fold to a raise because we're still showing strength. I like the c/c on the river.

Does anyone see an argument for c/raising allin or even pushing the river?

Not against someone who is 10/0. This guy has a hand that is better than A's.

This is definitely a tough spot, but I think you played it ok. You lost the minimum amount of chips to a flopped set or str8 and, as mentioned, sucked out on 2 pair.

I like this exactly as played. Sure villian could have 2 pair or a straight on the flop, but he could also be floating you with a pair and perhaps an OESD. The turn bet feels nasty, but hero has shown weakness, the flop bet could just have been a c-bet and hero is ready to fold. Once we hit two pair on the river we're happy, but we're not happy enough to do more than just call because theres still hands that beat us.
