Slowplayed AA; shortstack squeeze and PFR flats

[baudib]

PFR here seemed pretty tight; he had seen me play AA exactly this same way vs. an EP raiser just a few orbits earlier. It took him a looong time to figure out what to do so I put him on a medium pair 88-JJ or AQ/AJ type.

Am I looking to do anything here other than push? Pot is plenty big enough -- or should I continue trapping to win a monster pot? We have about 220 left and 72 get paid.

Pot is plenty big enough

Ugh, please don't use this sentence ever. Your goal is to win the most chips possible, not to be like, well, I'm happy with winning this many chips, even though another line would make me even more chips.

This is still a close spot though. If the villain were a better player I'd think he was calling really often with a big pair or AK to induce you to go all-in, so that's what I'd do. This guy seems uncreative and nitty based on what you said, so I'd just call I think?

The biggest problem I have with flatting is that you're going to get a ton of credit in the dry side-pot, thus perhaps sucking some value out of hands that might normally stack-off PF or post-flop in a heads-up pot

[drmcboy]

what if we min raised when it gets back? our line seems scary anyway but maybe he'll talk himself into two pot odds calls from there.

I also like minraising. He will have a hard time folding to 2000 into 8000. Then he may commit himself if he has an over pair or pairs his king with AK.

[baudib]

I would think this type of player would always push with AK/QQ-KK.

I agree w/mcat... again (how boring)
