[Closed] Slowplaying AA preflop: raise/call & call a raise

Well if an opponent has KK it is likely that they will go broke preflop.

But there is some logic - against good opponents you might induce a cbet from them which you can take advantage of.

On higher limits it is also possible that calling a raise in position will induce a squeeze from the blinds.

But on lower limits I still think that reraising/shoving is a good idea because the opponent are just so bad

I meant that Hero has KK and tries slowplaying, rather than the opponent.

So on lower limits we hope for a 3-bet/push from the opp after our re-raise with AA, because the opponents are so bad? But most bad opponents seem way too passive and scared to do that. If, on the other hand, you show weakness, they jump at you with anything remotely playable post-flop. Or not?

Sorry didn't read it right, just woke up ♦ But KK is sometimes possible

Well the opponents are bad, and in general passive - but we don't want them going to the flop with a hand like JT to then get sucked out by a 2 pair.

But imo it's up to the opponent were playing. If they never fold to 3Bets, then 3 bet! If you think they will fold and you put them on a weak mediocre hand then it could be possible. But be careful on some boards that could beat your AA, KK

From my opinion, homeless shelters are full of people who slowplayed their aces.

I see no need to slowplaying such hands, some players will get in with worse because they suck, other - because you 3bet them with wider range than aces/kings so they'll get to 4bet/call push with wider range too.

b/c flop c/r turn ♦.
