Any way to get away????

[sykotik489]

You have Ax in LP and there is a standard 3x raise, I know it's sketchy to call here but lets assume you do. Flop comes AAQ. Opponent bets the pot can you get away???? NL by the way .5/1 pot was $12.

Yes, you can.

By folding preflop.

Ax doesn't play well becuase you get outkicked frequently.

Which is exactly why I put in the qualifier maybe its your favorite hand maybe its suited or maybe you just have a good read on the guy for whatever reason you call...what then.

[a500lbgorilla]

Alright. It comes down to reads. If the guy is aggressive every time he preflop raises, you've got the best of it. If he's tight/weak, you're probably outkicked or staring down Queens full.

If you put in a re-raise and get pushed, not many hands are going over top of you and losing (especially since they raised preflop.) I think with deep stacks, a reraise/fold line would be best.

Wow I hope to be at your level someday. QQ was what he had and I made a bad call. caught my x card on the river for a higher boat. I dont know that in the near future I will be able to lay down trip Aces but if I do I will definitely build a shrine to the all knowing 500lb gorilla.

It wouldn't be the first...
