A Good Time To Be Aggressive With Aa?


Recommended Posts

Full Tilt PokerPot Limit Omaha Ring gameBlinds: $0.05/$0.106 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $9.60UTG+1: $9.05CO: $8.35Button: $22.85SB: $5.85Hero: $65.20Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with :D:club::D:ts UTG+1 folds, CO raises to $0.35, Button raises to $1.2, SB folds, Hero ??????I recently just stacked BOTH CO and Button on same hand with KJxx vs J3xx vs 99xx on a J93JK board. They have been on an aggressive tear since then and are both blatently tilting (Button especially). Do I 4-bet here knowing the button is willing to stack off light to chase his losses versus me, as well as a chance to get to the flop 2-handed versus 3-handed?Or if I call, what would my options be?As noted in the thread just below about folding weak AA some times, this is obviously not one of those times....

I would just call. You are deep and can't get enough of your stack in. If they flat it leaves you in an akward position. Also if you get it in three ways and another guy has aces the player w/ out AA** is a huge favorite. These aces aren't good enough. Remember you are deep stacked. See a flop and go from there.

Hard to think about it in real time, but if hero 3-bets, CO is most certainly going to either raise all in (forcing button to fold or shove), or fold. Either option (most likely) leaves us heads up with Aces, never a bad thing.I think I shove and get ~25% of Buttons stack in. If the flop misses us completely, we still have fold equity and showdown value, or we can fold and lose ~$7.

FYPNot saying I disagree, just wouldn't say $7 like it's pocket change, unless you would make the same decision for $140 in a 1/2 game.

Here is my thought process on the hand. AA65 obviously does not play very well OOP in a multi-way pot. -I could just flat, hope to spike an ace...and HOPE that someone else hits the flop hard and I win a big pot...but more than likely, if an ace comes...the hand isn't going much further for me.-I could fold (noooooooooooooooot happening)-I could squeeze a 4-bet there and hope the shorter stack pushes to knock out the big stack. AA65 obv plays MUCH better versus only one opponent. But if I attempt a squeeze, given my prior history with both of them, they may be willing to both stick it all in and I would be in a 3-way race for 5 buy-ins.

Given your read that button is on tilt, I think you should 4-bet, hoping for him to stack off. Calling is okay too. If I though button was a good player, and that he would usually have aces here, then I would consider folding, but in the specific situation you should not fold.
