$1/$3 slow played AA against strong line
Don't have great reads on villain, I haven't played with him before and I'm on my second or third orbit at the table. G
Did you read the whole thread, or somehow just zero in on that one line?
If you read my earlier responses, my point should have been pretty clear.
I fake-tank for 10-20 seconds, then 4B-jam pre, and pray it looks like I'm over-playing some worse hand.
If he folds, he folds. Now we know he has a limp/flat-raise-fold range.
So, with AA here, we 4B, and V either folds something we assume is worse than KK, or he 5B-jams, and we play for stacks.
V limp-raised from the BB. If we 4B and V folds, then we know that his limp-3B range includes hands that he will fold to a 4B, which obviously are not AA, and probably not even KK, so he has a limp-raise range that includes more than just AA/KK. He has a limp-raise-fold range, which does not include AA, and probably not KK.
That information can be used in the future, helping us make up for lost value if he folds to our 4B in this hand. It allows us to 4B him with more than just AA/KK, because we know his limp-raise range includes hands that will fold to a 4B, hands that are probably worse than AK and QQ.
This goes to the discussion of what hands we can have in our 4B range, depending on the stack depth, and if there's enough for V to flat call, or for us to 4B-fold.
