was ghosting friend, I'd like to hear some input..

Hero is the UTG raiser - has [Ad Ah] gets C/R here on this flop. No history/reads on BB flatter.

I know some might like flatting the C/R to make sure SB leads the turn if we think we're ahead but anyone muck here with these stacks sizes ?

My contention is that we are "way ahead/way behind" so we either reraise and get stacks in or fold to the C/R...

input thx...

No way I'm folding AA here w/o a very good read, so few hands beat us, and we're ahead of alot of TP hands or even overplayed middle pairs that dk how to play their hand. Flatting and getting AI OTT is unneccessary, but not horrible in that not too many bad cards can hit OTT to kill our action, but why risk it after villain has put in this % of their stack? They're likely not folding to a 3B so just get AI OTF.

This

for me personally...not deep enough to even considering folding AA

i just raise/call over his c/r

I saw AA and $5, thats all i really needed...no folding AA here in my book.

I flat to pick up some bluff equity and protect vs made hand but I'm never folding.

$5 PStars Donkaments right?
So basically, minraise him back to tilt him and hover around the call button, waiting to snap click it once it appears when he ships the rest of his stack in.
Ez game.

Shovity shove

shipit

Flat his flop raise and get it in on the turn. Sigh if turn is a Jack, but don't fold.

Reads?? If the guy is a LAG I don't mind calling his raise and getting it in OTT. If the guy is a solid player I am checking back this flop, if the guy is tight-passive I think bet-folding is an option and also checking back this flop. Use OPR to determine something about him if we have no reads. To be honest: yes we have aces but this is a medium pair QJ/KJ like never since we raised UTG and prolly have a very strong range. You are looking at a set or AJ IMHO. To prevent this sort of situations there is value in checking back this flop and I think Norwoodmatt would agree with me . With aces on such a board we will never get action for more then two streets against a decent villain so on this assumption checking back the flop is okay. All those who say shove shove shove are far to optimistic about the raising range OTF of a BB against an UTG's openers.

And what I didn't mention is that AJ is somewhat unlikely because we have tha blockers...

sums it up imo
