I thought very hard about folding on the turn, and I really wanted to fold on the river. It's not that I can't fold AA under any circumstances, I have done it often already when it was obvious that I was beat, but I just couldn't figure that out in this hand, I was very confused by the action. I had no idea what my opponents could have, high pocket pairs and AK seem likely, but would anyone play like that with KK considering all this action? I mean, someone has got to have you beat, right?

The most likely hand to have me beat is TT, obviously and I can't eliminate 33 and 22 either (I have seen plays like that often) but can I fold this hand, with such a huge pot just because of a vague suspicion and should I even fold or get more aggressive?

I post the result if anyone wants to know. What do you think of this hand? And what do think my opponents had?

I would guess: UTG Tx, MP3 A4, Button KK.

And i would fold River, any Ten beats you and the chance of a reraise behind you is too big.

UTG limps with 33 (or 22), Button KK (or QQ), MP3 AT

Well, I guess a better question would have been, what hand you would have put them on, if you had been in my place.
Cold-calling two bets preflop with a little pair is a rather unusual move even at 5c/10c in my opinion, and a set is very sneaky anyway, so it's hard for me to tell if someone has that. And a T - well, let's consider UTG has a T,aafter a cap preflop he bets on the flop, gets raised - 3-betted - and called by three opponents and Turn: Raise - call call! - how good can Toppair still be in that spot?
Of course I could have folded on the river, but can I really think that someone has a T with enough certainty to fold AA in a huge pot on a not very scary board?

What would you think about a 3-bet on the Turn to gain some information or try to knock someone out?

whell it's hard to tell, if you haven't watched the players on the table for some time. I think without knowing that there are some certain maniacs in that hand, i would have folded.

But never underestimate the magic of a big pot - which many call with trash hands. Only thing i'm sure about is i don't envy you for having to play this hand.
