Minraise/reraise says AA but stacksize says donk.

Results 1 to 5 of 5
  1. #1

    Default Minraise/reraise says AA but stacksize says donk.

    Im about 4 hands in on this table. No reads at all on villain except that hes limp/called once preflop and folded to some guys flop cbet. This felt really weak but he really looks like an AA that was scared of everyone folding and has now woken up, and given stack sizes and position i think I have to get it in preflop or fold. Thoughts?

    UTG ($30.50)
    Button ($17.35)
    SB ($22.45)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, K
    1 fold, Button bets $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2, Button raises to $5, Hero folds

    I agree with your read. Shove or fold I think your flipping either way. I would also drop hit range to JJ+ AQs+ as well as AKo I see this a lot with that range. So given that range your at 42% equity. I wouldn't hate either play.

    Damn this forum is so dead. I posted this as a check really. At the time my thought process was

    He probably does this with AA much more often than he does this with 77/AQ, but there are much much more 77/AQ type hands he could have and decide to donk spaz than AA. Short stack + good hand = shove.

    So I shove and he calls with AA. I think Im still ok with it.
