Are you serious or is this a joke ED. If any player heads up folds AA, then someone should tell them it is time to give up the game.

Heads up, £50...and AA first hand with the villain shoving? This is a no-brainer! Call all day long.

They must be dumping money between accounts thats all I can think of!

i think you hould fold

just because villain isnt going to shove here without a hand... i would expect to see ace king or even aces so would lay down my A A

FYP Charles.

Seriously though, OMG. Please give a valid reason for folding here. Your points noted above are wrong. We WANT to be up against AK as we are dominant! Villain has 3 outs and has to hit 2, bar a miracle straight. Same for ANY A-x hands, which form a massive part of his range.

We are 80/20 against ANY other pp. Every other hand, villain has to hit 2/6 outs preflop (obviously, this number can change based on board texture) but they have to hit a minimum of 2 cards whereas you have to do NOTHING.

This is the easiest call in the world. Anyone who folds this hand in this situation, and I apologise for sounding so harsh, needs to learn some more before coming back, as you are literally throwing money away.

You would lay down AA when your putting you opponent on AK?

As for the original question...... you've got the best starting hand possible, your playing for 50 pound, pre-flop shove.......

I'd love this situation.... CALL EVERYTIME.

how do you know he had AA?

BigBluster

AA is 77% against 89 suited.

The only explanation for such a fold would be if he knew the player exceptionally well and thought he was bigger than 77% to win the £50 over the long haul, so why gamble on one hand?

NoseyBonk

Maybe the AA guy thought he was playing Top Trumps (Cars) from the 80's and thought he was up against the Lamborghini Countach. I remember it well, nothing beat that mutha.

errr yea

what a stupid and repetetive thread

BigBluster

If I was playing a multiple WSOP HU bracelet winner, the odds of me beating him over the long haul are probably nil.

Q: What would be the best way to beat a player like this?

Maybe: close your eyes and just shove every hand?

youve got to call most stupid post ever..

quick story tho :- i got my bankroll up to £500 a few weeks ago and wanted to play higher stakes, so i sat down on 2.50/5 with my £500 and was doing ok, got up to over £600 when :-

i get aces, raise to £20, sum1 re raises to £100, it get rerasied to £600 and a call.... my heart was going flat out as i couldnt afford to lose all my bankroll in 1 hand (only wanted to commit when i had hit big)

i folded my aces pre flop.. and 2 ppl went heads up.. kk v ak

case king came on turn and i was relieved..

then realised that i was on the wrong table and went back to the 25/50p tables

i know i shouldnt have sat down with all my br, but wanted to play higher stakes with the known cash players on the site.. think gerrard9 and lolufold were on the table and i was playing well until i had to fold the aces.. then realised i was out of my comfort level and left the table

BlackFish3

what was the point in playing though if you had the chance to get your money in so good?
