Only 2 orbits at the table but my HUD stats on the villain had him at 33 / 13. I had not seen any of his hands go to showdown so I did not have a good handle on his actual range. What would be your play on the flop? I realize some (perhaps many) would suggest a fold to the PFR reraise.

PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25NL (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP1 (Villain)/ ($8.90)
MP2 ($14.25)
MP3 ($2.25)
Hero ($23.20)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, A.
3 folds, MP1 (Villain)/ calls $0.25, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, 1 fold, SB calls $1.35, 1 fold, MP1 (Villain)/ raises to $2.75, Hero calls $1.25, SB calls $1.25.

Flop: ($8.50) 4, Q, T (3 players)
SB checks, Villain bets $2, Hero ???

flat call, not too worried.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

I would make it 4 on the flop, bet out 6 on the turn if checked too, then check the river. That would be the line I would take. I would try to not show weakness, as this might induce villain to make an out of line bet. Sometimes the flat call can make an out of position raiser play kinda nuts, especially if he thinks you are drawing or something.

That's what I did and put the villain all in. He flips over KK. Another player says "that was obvious" and "I put him on AA" ... blah blah blah.

You missed the fold part.

As much as we know players should be reraising preflop with a wider range, at these stakes it's almost always AA/KK against the avg. player.

The point isn't to get opp to fold it's to take the lead on the turn. Subsitute 4 for 5 or 6 or whatever you like. This is just one line I would consider playing.

This is interesting though. When you play NLHE are you always making bets with the intention of making your opponent fold? Wouldn't that mean that you are always overplaying your hand? I think your going to find your self getting pot committed quite often like that.

I think you missed the size of your opponents stack, making it for would leave him $2.15. Regardless of stack sizes I dont like a minraise there and would just push.

Why would we want him to fold a pair?

As played I think it would be horrible to fold this on the flop. I think if you are finding a fold anywhere it would have to be preflop. Against a shortstack who has been lagg I am pushing this flop, the SB complicates it a little so an argument could be made for calling to see how he reacts, but I dont think we can fold.

Oh Lonnie... u r right my advice was ridiculous because of villain's stack size. If, however, we assume full stack-sizes from beginning of hand, I think the reraise to 9-fold to push line is best.

Yes you fold w a lot of money in the pot, but imo you are folding quite confident that you are beat as opposed to playing passively and bleeding till the river praying for a cheap showdown. This is maybe a hyper aggressive approach but I think it can be pretty effective in long run (unless u do it vs shorties like i donkishly initially suggested).

i missed the stack size also. that changes the entire dynamic of course. With short stacks you just push em in.

I was not advocating playing passively, I was advocating to take the lead in the hand. Quite honestly, if the minraise isn't enough to take the lead, I don't think you have the best hand anyway.

I'm gonna take a little different approach than the others on this hand, even though I already know the outcome and it may sound biased.

You raise to $1.50 preflop, a 6x raise. Let's go back and look at it again.

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q , A .
3 folds, MP1 (Villain)/ calls $0.25, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, 1 fold, SB calls $1.35, 1 fold, MP1 (Villain)/ raises to $2.75, Hero calls $1.25, SB calls $1.25.

He limp RERAISED! Toss your AQ offsuit. In $25NL, a limp re-raise is damn near a guaranteed KK/AA.
Save your stories 'cuz they're all the same..

Heed this advice. Now if he *pushed* preflop it might have been a lower pocket pair that is not sure what to do or something (ironically), but a limp/raise that tries to keep you in the hand? AA/KK.

I agree with this, I would typically ditch AQ to a reraise, from a limp-reraise I think it should be an automuck.

At 25NL you see people doing this kind of shit with lots worse hands than KK/AA.

This is where I tried to use the 'stats' he had (33 / 13). I would agree that had he been 33 / 2 I could have put him on the AA/KK. But his numbers suggested a much wider range to me. That was my thinking on this hand.
