    Prob have the same hand as I dont see him r-r you pre-flop and slowplaying AA?Put him all in. If ya lucky he maybe got AQ but need to know more about your image at the table as this may affect his play.I call/r-r all in on that board against a min r-r.Dont really like the turn play however. Raise or fold here and you can get a better indication of the strength of your opponents hand. Pending on my read of villan and my estimations of what he thinks of me, im prob betting pot size on the flop as well. I think it is very good to get some idea of where you stand as early as possible in these situations. Those who play online a lot, will understand how many times AK and KK can come up against AA. But aggressive play will also help AK to win pots against another AK.

    I am finding this situation a lot at these limits also. It drives me crazy. Sometimes they are total bluffs/missed draws, sometimes it's AA or the nuts.What is with this overbetting strategy? Where did it come from? Who taught them to overbet like this?In your example footy I call. If he has better than you then I reckon he played it unbelieveably bad.

    I think you gotta call here. The only hand I fear is AA and if he has that, then he's slowplayed the hell out of it.I cant see him re-raising preflop with 77, 66 or 22 or any hand with a 6 in it or A7 unless you have notes on him to the contrary. There are only 2 more aces left in the deck, I cant see him having more than one of them. I call and hopefully he shows you AQ or worse. Most likely a split pot IMO.
    People say I have a bad attitude. Those people are stupid.

    He played the hand so goofy, I would have to call. People who play like this should show goofy stuff often enough on the river. If you're beat, suck it in. I hope you eventually got all this guys money.Trent
