Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7140387, member: 397965"] You kind of know it already, but I am just going to give you my breakdown of the AA hand with some additional points to consider. Preflop Yeah I would not limp here. I get the idea of going for a limp-reraise, but its a super unbalanced play, and it only works, when someone isolate. Flop Because it was a limped pot, the Stack to Pot Ratio (SPR) is now very deep at around 10, and for that reason I would not be willing to play for stacks with a single pair hand. I first heard about the concept of SPR from a guy called Splitsuit many years ago, and his guidelines for stacking off with a strong top pair or overpair were: <3 always stack off 3-6 situational >6 only stack off in exceptional situations SPR is an old school concept from before solvers, but it can still help with hand planning in a situation like this. And because the plan here should be to not play for stacks, you have to just call the lead from BB and not raise. There is also another old saying, which apply here, and that is "never to broke in a limped pot". Meaning that because the SPR is so deep (usually even deeper in cash games), and several players saw the flop, you need a really strong hand to stack off. As played when you face a cold 3-bet from CO, this is just a pure fold. A cold 3-bet is extremely strong action, and its very unlikely, he is doing this with top pair or a draw. Its almost always going to be 2 pair or sets, and its for a third of his chips, so it does not make a lot of sense to call now and fold later. Results To be fair you would likely also have gotten stacked, if you had raised preflop. He would likely have called to setmine, and with a now smaller SPR and perhaps only 2-3 players to the flop rather than 4, it would be difficult to get away from aces for 40BB effective. But at least you would then also win more from him, when he miss his set, which he does 7 out of 8 times. [/QUOTE]
