Just fought through an absolute battle of a session.
1,200 hands and nobody was reacting the way they normally would. Everyone was hitting the top of their ranges, my monsters received no action etcetc.
I was down 1BI ($10) after 1,199 hands and I get dealt AA.
"Great," I sigh, "Another hand that gets folded around to me."
I bet my 3BB and get reraised to $1 and another person calls, so I 4bet to 2.50 because the other guy was short and it may induce the original 3better (who has a fairly weak range imo as his 3bet is like 9-10%) to spaz or something.
So he spazzes all in and the other guy goes all in and I called to see AK and KK flip over. They don't hit their miracle shot on me and I end the session up $5.
Just goes to show that putting in volume and being patient truly is the only remedy if you're a winning player!
Cheers folks.

I ran $20 under EV today and made a pretty questionable shove and overall play here.
I assumed he would fold anything but AK, AA and KK (Slim chance of KQ calling OOP in my opinion). I was wrong.
This was a super spew. Although, both had over 85% of fold to 3bet. The guy who called had 90%.

I shouldn't make plays like this. Normally I will 3bet suited aces vs one opponent but I squeezed cause they had around 90% fold to 3bet.

I assume he only continues with KK, AA and AK. I was wrong. Not sure what to do in this type of spot really. Shoving seemed like my only option. Calling makes no sense and folding felt too weak =/ .

I guess just avoid squeezes like this in the first place? Or is it ok vs such high fold to 3bet?
