Fairly straightforward, very tight EP player (13%/5%) raises max. Folded to me in MP, and I have decent AA. What's my play here? (I'm full stacked and EP covers)
What I actually did was call, but I wonder whether this isn't better a fold without AAds (mine was ss). I'm 90% sure EP has AA, so I'm not going to set (nor is he). Also, if I call, I attract in some LP players, who are actually decent favorites with any 4 short of trips.
If I raise, I think EP will push, and (while my AA here was middle of the road, so probably coinflippish) we're taking variance on $100 each over blinds amounting only to $1.50.
Anyhow, while the call is at most a mistake of $3.50, I just wondered if you guys think this is a waste of money without having them ds, in which case maybe a mini-raise might be in order in the hope of excluding the others (?). I guess I could also have mini-raised my medium-strength AA for the same purpose, then tried to take if away from the guy on a scary board with some deception on my part. He's going to think possible AA no doubt after the mini-raise, but I don't think it's necessarily a given... ?Statistics: Posted by Aisthesis — Mon Mar 12, 2007 5:32 pm
