Message: [QUOTE="eetenor, post: 6089134, member: 385063"] Thank you for posting. When playing 6 max our open ranges and 3 bet ranges are wider than 9 handed therefore when we are holding AA we are always 3 betting UTG opens. If the V has KK or QQ or AK we may get stacks in preflop. Also we cannot get much value post flop from AK/s AQ/s AJ/s when they miss and they will miss often because we have AA so we need to get that value preflop. When we have AA we want to win stacks so our strategy is dependent on exactly that. If we flat it is because we will get the stack on the flop or turn. The problem is the pot is so tiny preflop that the only way we stack our V is if the flop comes perfect and they have KK QQ JJ or are very aggressive bluffers. Even then the V might not stack off with over pairs when we try to get $1.90 into a post flop pot of $.17. As you have experienced trying to get 3 streets of value from AA in low stakes games often ends up with the villain making 2 pair or better by the river. Slow playing AA is you flatting preflop. Then you min raised the flop. That is also slow playing it. Then you bet .10 into a 49.5bb pot which is also slow playing it. Slow playing does not mean just checking- it means checking or betting in a way that allows your V to get to the river without risking their stack. At no time did you put the villains stack at risk while holding the best hand preflop -most likely the best hand on the flop and the nut draw best 2 pair hand turn. If we lose to 99 here for stacks by being aggressive that is fine that is variance. Winning so little -.69- with AA pre and a nut flush by the river is what kills our ROI. Hope this helps :):) [/QUOTE]
