The preflop limp is the only thing that worries me.Leading into the raiser when you flop a set would be the right play if that's what he has. But is he a slowplayer? Or is he overvaluing A 9? I want to say fold but I also want to know what he has so I probably pay it off.

It looks a lot like he flopped a set or has an overpair to the board. You have to figure out how often he has that set to know if this is a valuable call. The limp scares me and makes me think he has hit his set. I would like to fold but I can't ever fold aces on a board like this so I probably pay him off.

You should be MORE likely to fold aces on this flop, than you should on a more coordinated board, simply due to the fact that there are fewer draws that villain could be playing fast.Anyways, if we call this, we're playing for stacks. We aren't folding a turn, obv. There is $135 in the pot, plus another ~$82 in his stack. So we'd need to call $55+$82 to win a pot of $217. We're getting 217-137... 1.58 to 1. Meaning, if we feel we are ahead here ~39% of the time, we can call.FWIW, I say call, not shove, because shoving may get a fold from a lesser hand. We're either way ahead or way behind, so if I feel I'm ahead 39%+, then I'm calling and letting him bluff/value bet off the rest of his stack.- Zach

I fold up shop. The only hands you are beating are overpairs to the board and villain probably is not open limping with tens or better. Well, you could luck out and villain could be 'slowplaying' kings, but this is as obvious a set as you're ever going to see. You need a read that villain's an idiot here in order to call.

Housemate?KK and sets play like this. That's about all I can tell you.

And unless you see cards, you can't believe what someone says they had. Metagame. Anyway, I play aces to death on these ragged boards. He's 8:1 to have flopped his set. If we get it all in with AA every time this board comes, we make a lot of mobney

You think KK plays like this really? Sure KK can open-limp, but I don't think he's going to flatcall Hero's raise PF to close the action. That's an auto-raise.This screams set.

We both have rakeback. Why do you ask?
OK, I don't mind the fold. And unless you see cards, you can't believe what someone says they had. Metagame. Anyway, I play aces to death on these ragged boards. He's 10:1 to have flopped his set. If we get it all in with AA every time this board comes, we make a lot of mobney
Yeah, I don't believe TT plays this hand anything like this. The question is, how deep would you need to be to fold aces on a ragged flop? Here we have effective stacks of over 170xbb. Even after the flop reraise villain still has $80 behind.He's about 7.5:1 to have flopped his set.

1. Just simple curiousity. That makes more sense.2. Pretty GD deep. Both of us.3. Yeah, I changed it. Like I said, I pretty much play AA to the death on these flops. You're behind about 20% of the time.

i push but I suck at poker.... I think you are right though, the preflop action, and the board being this dry I can't imagine he doesn't have a set. Unless he is a nutball with 22 or something.

If you believe he made his set, then you pretty much only have two outs. I am not counting the double gut shot str8 draw. That gives you about 10% chance to win the hand. It looks like you need to call $50+ into a $130+ pot. The pot odds are way to slim to compete with the drawing odds. I fold and wait for a better chance.

Double gutshot what? He has AA. FWIW, I'm gonna get my money in there. Many players are bad enough to play overpairs like this, or even overvalue top pair. I think you're behind 25% of the time, 1/3 of the time at most. If you know the villain is nitty, then go ahead and dump it. Otherwise, I'm gonna get it in here.

Pushing sucks, imo. Call and let him shove the turn, don't give him a chance to fold (although it would be a small chance).

I agree with this. You're playing for his stack. He's OOP, so let him put it in for you on the turn.

For me it's very opponent based, but I feel like if I have 150bbs and so does my opponent, I should not get stacked on a flop with an overpair. I'd ditch here if I thought the opponent was solid.

Duece - trey on the turn and river gives him a str8. Assuming he has a set the AA doesn't hold up.If he has a set the board pairing actually eliminates outs. One of the two remaining aces or perfect perfect is the only way to get on top of the set and I assume he had the set. I need more then a 2 out of 47 chance if the pot is only giving me between 2 and 2 and a half times my money to call the reraise.

If we assume he has a set it's a trivial fold. The problem is, we can't assume that. We need to assess how often he will have a set or 45, and how often he will have TT+.I personally think that limp/calling preflop with a high pair is a pretty rare occurance. However, so is flopping a set. This is the conundrum.

Its your question, but the reraise was roughly a pot sized bet. If he bet half the pot I would think he was trying to get action (10-10+). If he bet 2x the pot I would think he was trying to end the hand right there (drawing with a bunch of outs). Betting the pot makes me think a set. Enough to give you the wrong odds to call and draw, but not really afraid if you did call.

This is too opponent based to say rare occurance IMO. I would never limp/call with QQ, or very rarely. But I would also very rarely limp R/R with AA or KK, if I'm going to limp it I'm going to just call PF as well. I think flopping a set is much higher occurance than limp/calling with QQ or KK but again it's so opponent based.

Enough to give you the wrong odds to call and draw, but not really afraid if you did call.
So, let me get this straight. When he has a hand like TT (a weak and vulnerable overpair to the board), then he'll bet half of the pot to get action, but when he has a set (nigh unbeatable hand), he will bet bigger to end the hand right there? Say that out loud to yourself and let me know it if makes sense.Also, a running 2-3 doesn't constitute a double gutshot straight draw, it is called a runner runner straight draw. A double gutshot is when you hold something like T8 and the flop is 69Q, where any 7 or J will make the straight. You have 2 gutshot draws there (same outs as an OESD, but trickier) which is where it gets the name.

/shrug. I just don't see this from TT+ often at any table. I see limp/reraises from high pairs, but limp calling is more odd. It is far more likely for anyone to play a low pair in this manner than a high pair.

You wouldn't believe how many times JJ and TT or even 99 behave this way, putting you on AK or AQ and thinking they're ahead, or even trying to get you to dump a better hand. There's only one player in my local shop I fold to in this spot. If hero is up against that particular villain, then fold. However, against random villains, in this specific situation, the villain is only going to have a set one out of every eight times. Two pair is incredibly unlikely here. So I think if we consistently get all the chips in when we're in this particular situation, we win somewhere around 7 out of eight times. That's a good enough ROI for me to lose one out of seven. Again, super deep stacks matter. But I don't fold this. Ever. I take my beating if I have one coming.

Now I know why I get so many invitations to peoples games. I thought I was just popular. TT is weak. Your reaction to my betting half the pot lets me determine how weak. Insta-call or reraise me and I think REALLY weak. With a set, make a pot size bet as a re-raise. I would be a strong favorite to win and wouldn't mind building the pot or picking up the pot right there. But I also wouldn't mind if you did call and wanted to chase since now you have the wrong odds.Double gut shot was the wrong term, I should have said runner runner.
