WATCH OUT!

I usually stay far away from SHNL, so go easy on me. I didn't have reads on the guy, but it just seemed like a weird way to play AA so I wasn't convinced, and figured my 6 outs may pad me a little bit in any case. I'm pretty sure it was played wrong, so give me some advice.


I don't mind the flop raise if you think he's LAG and trying to buy it, but after he limp/reraises PF and then 3bets allin i don't see how you can be drawing to anything but 6 outs.

edit: I think c/c is definetly a good play, and probably the right play. The reason I advocated raising the flop is this:

A limp reraise means one of two things: "I have AA-KK!!!" or "Always raising every time I limp, gently caress YOU I RAISE YOU BACK!"

Generally you're raising limpers very liberally from LP, and as a result he might be playing back at you with anything.

If you check/call the flop, and a blank falls on the turn, and he bets 2/3 - pot, you'd really need to fold.

A raise on the flop (maybe smaller, maybe 12) allows you to really get him to define his hand. When he pushes you know you're drawing to 6 outs and must fold.


I could be wrong about alot of this, but that's my thinking.
