Scenario with AA

Chugs · Oct 17,2004, 03:33 PM

Limit ring game

Action folds around to the button who raises.
SB folds
Your BB (you look down and see AA)

I wanted some opinions on this.
What do you do, and WHY.

1. Raise
2. Call
3. Fold (well it technically is an option)

Also please indicate if the limit or the quality of players would affect your decision.

Low limit, I reraise. I don't care about deception - I have the best hand, I want my money (and his) in there. Bet the goods.

Mid or higher limit, I can see the value of slowplaying a little more and would tend to call the raise and try to trap my opponent postflop.

I have to agree with Hork. I am only a low limit player so I will reraise. Most will call me down to river anyways. Might as well get value.

I don't think that AA would be a fold in a limit game.

Depending on your image and the other player's playing style, you could try and slow play the hand because it is well hidden in the BB position, or you can simply re-raise and value bet your way to glory.

Raise. It's a limit game, so you won't be able to trap him for his
whole stack. Make him PAY to hit his two pair or set. He may be on
a steal raise and if you check and the board flops rags you could end
up behind. Bet the flop no matter what. Depending what he does then, you'll know where you are.

Re-raise.

If the opponent is not a thinking player, this is a value raise. If the opponent is a thinking player, it sends the message "I will re-raise you when you try to steal my big blind" in addition to being a value raise.

re-raise everytime, i've got the best hand, and i really dont wanna see it cracked.....althought at low limit everyone will chase their draw to the river.....might as well make it expensive
