villain is 27/16/1.4

How afraid should I be of the A on the turn? I have the nuts on the flop (aside from 44xx) and my goal is to get my stack in the middle. Since I have position I plan on flatcalling all the barrels from the villain and shove it on the river, wihch works perfectly.

The only concern is the A on the turn. Since the villain raised preflop AAxx is certainly in his range. However it is also very possible that he has 4xxx, 56xx, 67xx or Axxx. Could the A be a reason to lay the hand down or is it so unlikely that I can happily throw my stack in the middle and just accept it as a cooler when he does indeed have AAxx?

Preflop: Don't limp with anything in a 6 max game, raise or fold preflop. :f_biggrin:

Flop: Go ahead and raise right now, there isn't really any reason to slow play this. Villain might have a straight draw, or indeed could have AA and something like a 6 hitting on the turn could kill all the action for you. Go ahead and raise and if your image isn't that of a super nit most people with a big pair will stack off here. That said given you limped villain might well realise you're quite passive and be able to fold his aces.

Rest of the hand was standard. If BB has a preflop raise of 5% or less from the blinds, then you can find a fold when the ace hits (as he has AA or KK and he wont bet KK if an ace hits), anything more than that and you pretty much have to stack off.
