AA c/r and 3b

Hi mlatasrb

This is very similar to the other hand on a pair board except that we are doing the first raising here.

Given we are just 100 BB deep I think shove is fine. You could do it 28+15 = 43 BB but I doubt many can expect a 4-bet bluff there often.

I thought that shove might look more as a draw to him, so he would be more likely to call. Also his 3bet vs CO is 5%, so he might have TT, maybe even JJ.

Agreed,

I think that in this case 4bet small looks a lot stronger than a shove.

nice hand!

and do you c/r/shove the FD-s too?

I would cbet smaller fd, and would c/c AdJd, AdQd, KdQd, because he can continue barreling when I hit a pair on turn and my range is perceived weak in that case, and would c/r and shove
Ad2d-Ad9d because with those I have almost coin flip vs his PP if he stacks it off. Also I would c/r and fold bdfd Adx

So I find his 3bet and call very bad, because vs my fd he is flipping, and vs TT+ he is crashed. What do you think?

I agree, his call to the shove implies that he thinks you spew off with random hands but even those have some equity (like let's say some overcards with backdoors).

However, I think he was more in the mentality that if he raises an overpair he can't fold it, which is pretty bad.
