I use PokerStove for hand range percentage.

With this hand Pre-flop it was bet the same way I would have bet it with a raise and a call before me.

With AA pre

against a single opponent with a 59.6% range (That’s what I put him/her on) or (22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J2s+, T3s+, 95s+, 85s+, 75s+, 64s+, 54s, A2o+, K3o+, Q5o+, J7o+, T7o+, 97o+, 87o)

we have an equity of 84.774% 

I believe the pre-flop action was good!

Pot: $1960

I gave the V an extra wide range as it is early in tournament and he/she is experienced as these types of players often play a little loose in beginning play to pick up chips from more inexperienced players they see a weakness in. 

You looking up this player before/during game will influence your play against him/her. If it was looked up afterwards this isn’t a factor.

Flop:

376

Once the flop comes out our equity only changes by -0.597 or an equity of 84.177%

with this flop for me not a lot has changed. We have a runner runner nut flush draw and two over cards to the board.

Hero bets $900 Pot $2860

V raises by $1699 + $900 = Pot of $4559

Hero must put in $1699 to play

that’s 2.7:1 pot odds 

V has put in $3239 total

making an effective stack of $877

His large flop raise leads me to believe he has a large pocket pair, however, I still put him on a 28.4% range of hands or 66+, A4s+, K8s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, A9o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo, also a possibility still exist he has a straight or flush draw with smaller suited connectors. This also increases his/her hand range from 28.4% to over 60%

It canbe play in one of three ways the first being my personal preference:

1. A 4 bet non shove, like $7585 will show your willing to dedicate your stack with out actually doing it, and will get the the same results as the above and risk less. If he goes all in, call, and you’ll still have 32.6 BB left if he wins. That’s not the desired result but it’s poker, it happens.

2. Not what I would do, but, Shove making him/her go through a meaningful decision. I believe you’ll get a fold, but if not, I think you’ll have his pocket pair or draws dominated. 

3. Not what I would do, but, a call is a possible choice.

What do ya all think?
