2/3 NL game in AZ - $300 buy in

I just doubled up with AA over KK few minutes ago and have $600 behind. Haven't played very long at table. In MP and V is seat to my left with $300 behind. He hasn't played since I've been there, but that hasn't been much more than 10-15 min.
Everyone at table has about 300-600 behind.

Hero: table has a couple of limpers around to me and I have ...I raise $12

V: calls and one other caller

Flop:

player one checks to me...I raise $50. V thinks about it for a min and goes all-in. player one folds....

Now what???????????????

Against unknown villain on a drawy board, I think you have to go with this hand. There is a very good chance you are up against a combo draw, or even someone overplaying their AK or a worse 2 pairs. There is always a
possiblity you are up against a baby set, but that's the chance you have to take.

The only hands you're behind are trips, you're a 55% favorite against [Ac]

and a 60% against any other flush draws. Against any worse two pair, you're dominating. Call and hope he didn't flop a set.

Thanks for the feedback.

Results:
Hero calls ....... V flips over [Jh]

. Next two cards are blanks and V takes it down.

I suppose there are a few hands that I'm not going to get away from and this was one of them. I thought that V could have been overplaying his AK as one potential. I also discounted AA or JJ even here due to V's lack of pre-flop action. In the quick math in my head I figured that I was ahead of most hands here (no actual calculations done however.)

Oh Well, will be in vegas this weekend, so lots of poker left to make up for that one. Thanks.

Snap call. He could be doing this with some combo draws or even A8. Not much is ahead of u. AA raises pre. There are only 9 other set combos cause u have a J. Also many players will slowly set here get it in if he has 88 ph well

Side note: Why did u bet 50 into 36? Your hand is strong.

The blinds were $2 and $3 and three callers of $12 so that put $41 in pot...I was trying to make about a pot sized bet, but I over did it a little here(I guess it's just a sloppy pot sized bet that looks about the same amount of chips in the middle.)

I will often do this without intention but since you picked up on it do you read anything into it?

vookenmeister · **Posted:** Wed Oct 19, 2011 6:53 am

yeah... it makes me think it's more a good but not incredible hand that doesn't want any action at all. I would've expected a hand like AK or AQ not AJ. just my thoughts and of course sometimes I overread things

I'd think the same thing if you grabbed a big stack of chips...

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do here. Be UAE elf the super draw heavy texture of the board you just have to call off and hope you are good or that your hand holds against a big draw.

He could have so many hands. It really hurts you have no history. Against sets your drawing really thin. The few draws he could have your running 50/50. A8 isn't in there I don't think. With your flop bet you kind of committed yourself to the hand. I would expect to see JJ or 88 here alot. and straight flush draw the rest of the time. Neither of which you have alot of equity against. I would bet less OTF but your bet worked better for you because it lets you get away from the hand if you want after the shove. call 238 to win 380ish. ew this is such a gross spot. Depends on how your feeling but against a random you probably can't fold here. I just hate called huge on the flop when I'm either 50/50 or 10/90. I fold and wait for a better spot
