However, the rest of the hand is a mess. Raise pre. What other hands do you limp raise?
When BB shorty raises, you should have preempted the possibility of him overjamming by raising less enabling you to reopen the betting and 5 bet.
Post flop AA with SPRs of 2 and one live opponent, we just get it in on flop and turn in 95% of cases, and this board and opponenent, although not the one we would have scripted, is in the 95% of cases.
Actually , even though i asked what to do on the turn, I was hoping to get responses about previous streets as well.
About preempting the BB jam, I was thinking the same thing after the dealer told me that i can just call. But with so many players it is so hard to track exact count of all the stacks and to prepare for this for every player that is left to act after me.At least for myself it is hard (Ok, here BB was the initial raiser so i should at least prepare for his shove, that I think i was capable of , but failed to do so))
Also, I still think it is profitable to limp AA from first few positions on a table where there is a raise in almost every hand. This is my reasoning If i raise from EP two very likely scenarios usually occur:
1) first few people fold and then I just pick up the blinds ( which are so small compared to the average bets, that make this result bad for us)
2) a series of callers appears and then I am playing AA against 3-6 players OTF with some decent money behind, which is not so bad, but also far from desirable.
From that perspective: I play my hand pretty face up, (after the re-raise, because I am limping other stuff too, so they don't know if i have premium hand untill the action comes back to me)) but am just hoping to pick up those raiser's and his callers money, or to run into some stubborn guy on tilt or gambler that will call my 3-bet. maybe my reasoning is wrong? If somebody can explain me why, i am ready to listen. The only thing I see bad for this startegy is that villains can easily put me on a strong hand (after my 3-bet) How bad is that on 1/2 table?
