Early in the tourney getting close to the 30 minute mark, blinds at 10/20. Villain has only played a few hands and not shown down anything yet.

Me: 4K
Villain: 3K

From UTG, I find


I limp for 20, Villain in MP raises to 120, everybody folds to me, I call. Pot is 270. I will limp with aces about 10% of the time, I didn't reraise since I was isolated, didn't want to tip my hand and figured I could get away if I didn't like the flop.

Flop is:

I check, villain bets 200, I raise to 500, villain calls. Pot is 1,270.

Turn is:

I bet 1K, villain jams, I call

What range would you put on villain? I had put him on 1010+, AQ+ initially.

JJ+ His big raise, and the # of hands he's played, makes this look like a big hand.

I haven't limped with aces in about 6 months (except maybe heads-up), and I've never been happier.

If it wasn't for his big PF raise I could put Villain on almost any two cards that coordinate with that board. By his jam after you have shown a lot of strength twice, I think he has to have 77+, possibly but unlikely to me is something like 89 dia or 35 dia.

I put him on a range that you are almost always crushing, and vey rarely drawing to 2 outs.
He could go to 120 with 77 preflop, but I"d say its TT+ more often.
Since you have the Ad that takes the AdQd/Kd out


fwiw, I'd RR big preflop.
He likes his hand
Maybe I tip my hand, maybe I look like a clown and he calls with QQ.

QFT. I try and get my opponents to commit all their chips, when I know they have something strong.
