WPT Deep Stacks at Parx $1600 day 1

75/150 no ante LEVEL 2 *Starting stack 50k Both HERO & VILL are sitting on 50k

No reads on VILL. I know he’s a pro of sorts. Don’t know his name. I believe he’s a solid player

*Hand*

UTG – AA I open raise to 400

Vill (UTG +1) – reraises to 1100

everyone else FOLDS.

I flat

FLOP – A T 4 rb

I chk

Vill bets out 1500

I flat

TURN – 3d

VILL – chks HERO – chks

RIVER – Kh no flush draws BOARD A K T 4 3 dd

??? Do you do anything after flop? Do you lead on turn? What do you do on river?

* I’m curious what you guys think. After this hand, table had a few comments. I’ll see what you guys would do AFTER FLOP. I understand that I could have 4bet PRE, but I wanted to be tricky and build a nice pot, but NOT GO CRAZY level 2 of a Main Event.

Thoughts?

I like your post-flop play, and I think river is a clear check-raise. Even though there’s a very good chance V will check back river, most of those hands aren’t going to call a river bet either. Basically you have the board crushed and it will be very tough to get him to put money in the pot no matter what you do. I don’t see why four-betting the nuts pre-flop would constitute GOING CRAZY though, nor what level two of a main event has to do with anything.

Thanks as always Andrew. I just didn’t want to “go crazy” PRE and lose him. Esp after the flop …… I put him on a GOOD hand. 99+ AQ+

I’ll let some others chime in if they’d like before saying how the hand ended.
