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?

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.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
