Basic AA OOP (200NL 6max)

[T-Rod]

Prima 200NL 6max.

I have AA in the SB, full stacks, 35/9/2 guy limps, MP and calls my raise to $15.

Flop ($34) 9[h] 9[s] 8[d]. I bet $30, he calls.

Turn ($94) T[c]. He has $130 left.

Who likes:

1) Open push since if I bet, I don't think I can fold to a raise.
2) CRAI
3) Check/call looking for cheapest showdown.

Well, your opponent most likely has a hand like JT, QJ, QT, 66-88. I think open pushing or betting and calling the raise is fine... gets the most value out of those JT-QJ type combo hands that you are drawing to 10 outs here. I think it's better just to bet $65-70 here with intention to call the raise, of course, since it looks less scary to the hands you have beat. This is assuming you are planning on going to the felt here, which is probably reasonable against most non-nitty opponents. If he has a TT, 88, or a 9, well, "ship an A on the river."
