Have AA92, no suit. A Bunch of limpers. I limp too. V to my left makes it 80. There are 5 callers before it gets back to me. Should I pop it or call to set mine or fold? My stack is 2k. V stack is 1500. Others ranging from 500 to 5k.

I was thinking of dumping it but decided to call.

Perfect spot for a rejam as played. This is exactly how you get value from your ****ty aces imo. Couldnt you repot to get most your stack in?

Jam>fold>call generally, our hand can be fairly challenging to play correctly postflop

lol this is the easiest repot of all time and probably the best kinda spot for aaxx you can just repot for a big percentage of your stack and stick the rest in on most flops w an spr of like 1 1.5

Well, I ended up calling and trying to set mine. Flop was 234, rainbow. A player open shoves a little over $500 up front with 5689. I folded. Villain goes all in. Everybody folded. Villain tabled AA105 ds.

5689 scoops the pot. I told villain that i had AA also after the hand. Of course, he chastised me for not repotting. But I would've doubled him up if I repotted.

I looked up PLO calculator on my hand vs his hand. I win 11.5%, he wins 28.5% and remaining time we will chop remaining 60% of the time. But his hand is about 2.5x more likely to win the pot than mine.

I also put in his hand unsuited, and I guess by virtue of having possible broadway and wheel gave him 4% edge vs my hand. Each suited Ace gave hims around 5.5% edge vs mine.

Hindsight, I don't think 5689 would've folded pre since he's only sitting around $500. It's just a bad situation to get nonsuited AA92 all in 3 ways.

AA92 no suit is a piece of **** hand. I can't dominate any hand postflop unless set over set. I can't have any draws. Only one is a pitiful wheel draw which I'm crushed in all situations.

I don't know that folding is better than calling. There is no play in this hand post flop since it's gonna be 7 ways to the flop and you're effectively looking to set mine. Don't disagree with potting being the better of the 3 options.

You need to repot here - so much dead money in there. A lot will fold and yes you will get the odd caller but if villain has KKxx and he sticks in his $1500 you will lose main pot and possibly win big side pot. If you want to NIt and wait for an Ace each time you're in this situation you will burn a lot of $80. Also you let so many other players in that even when you flop an A you will have to dodge so many draws because there will be wheel draws, wrap draws and flush draws with that many players coming in

solid thoughts, wp!

I would probably open raise this hand and hope for some callers and a re-pot, if at a loose table with aggressive preflop dynamics, although limp to set mine or hoping for lots of preflop action instigated by others to put 35%+ of our stack in pre is reasonable given that it is literally the worst non trips AA hand.

What do people do if:
A) Villain is such a nit that he only has AA when he raises preflop, and probably only AAxx with at least one suit and straight possibilities
B) Villain is not a nit, but table is so loose that OP is guaranteed to get at least four callers if he repots it unless villain 4bets with obvious aces (and it probably doesn't end up heads-up in that case)

Depends on how many BI you have. If you hate money and like flipping then raise. I've seen plenty of live games at these stakes where the maniacs with "any 4 cards" try to commit half the max buy-in pre.

Pot, literally. Call is ok

I like to repot preflop after he makes it 80... But wp with c/f on flop

What? So don't raise because flipping makes you hate money. But you might not be flipping because crazy maniacs commit half a buy in with any 4 cards?

If Villain is more likely to have AAxx or it's multi-way then you're flipping by effectively playing side cards (9,2) which aren't blocking much.


Yesterday I saw such a flip between two players. AA78 vs AA89. They ran board twice and chopped (str8, two pair)

Isn't the idea of limping pre so we can get it in when someone takes the bait and pots it behind us? Seems like easiest shove NA.
