AA vs Aggressive

MP has been raising/flat calling with a huge variety of hands from 67s to A2o

I played this hand to disguise my Aces in order for him to hit the flop, and more then often let him push/reraise my small drawing type bets.

don't slow play one pair hands for two streets

Well he has KQ.. Pretty obvious fold on the turn.

your plan worked, you got it in with the best hand, unfortunate that he hit his 4 outer

No offense, but I hope that was supposed to be sarcastic.
To op, if villain really is that aggressive, he will call a 3-bet pre. No reason to try to play off character to trap. If the guy is bothering you that much, switch tables. Anyways, as said; don't slowplay anything but the nuts.

I'm being sarcastic because OP posted results when I've said not to post results throughout this forum probably close to 100 times, and there is a sticky indicating why posting results is bad. And I'm pretty tired of repeating it. This isn't directly solely at this OP because loads of people do it, even 'regs' here, but it's either lock it, or troll it.. I'm not going to post serious advice in a thread that had results posted before any serious discussion has occurred.

Fwiw, I had a pretty elaborate post lined up before deleting it for my prior troll post.. Sorry..

Yeah sorry, I actually re-edited the post to include results, dumb of me.

Lesson learnt (x2!)

Why the min bet on the turn?

Regardless of holdings, this is a very bad idea.

If you had made your mind to get it in on the turn anyway why not bet 2/3 to PSB?

Great response..

Basically, 3betting pre is just far more +EV than calling here in most circumstances. For one, villain is opening a wide range, and in most cases players that open a wide range, and play badly overall is likely to call 3bets with quite a wide range of hands as well. Also, you are OOP, and that makes extracting harder. Building a bigger pot preflop, and gaining initiative means it's not as hard to get the money in, which is obv a good thing.

As much as I would just 3bet preflop, calling preflop is obv fine. And I would even call some % of the time, depending on gameflow, and depending on if I have stats on his fold to 3bet tendencies.. If he's folding often to 3bets, then I will call my nut hands (AA for sure), and 3bet bluff with hands that I can't call with. If he's not folding to 3bets often, then I would not 3bet bluff often, but instead 3bet more frequently for value (JJ+, etc type hands).

just bet.
3-bet pre-flop, bet flop, raise flop, etc.
serves you right really

What kind of a read you need to fold the flop? Or, do you ever fold to any flop with AA?

At least reraise at Preflop

if you bet the flop and villain jams then you have a decision.
check folding an overpair to this board would be ridiculous against any opponent.
