spino1i the calling station

[spino1i]

I have a feeling if I reraised pre-flop he might have folded. I didnt want to scare off a semi-bluffing AK on the flop and just kept calling and let him walk right into it.. good plays?

Some folks really get married to their overpair, but I would have reraised it PF. AA is not happy multiway and you had two potential callers. Alot depends on your table image. If you had reraised a few hands and didn't show, this would be a good opportunity to reraise, isolate and push.

First post, so.. thx for ALL the HH!

I play AA the same way here. There is no reason to raise preflop as the only one left is Mr. SB who might be looking for a cheap flop. If you reraise it will scream big pp, and the action might very well be lost.

On the flop and down he is doing the betting for you, and as long as he keeps betting there is no reason not to let him.

I like it as well.
