what should i do???
I had only just sat at the table, it is a DTD game.
I have no notes on penguin but know he is a very good player.
Am I beat or could he be trying to push me off my hand thinking I may have AQ/AK???
Easy shove or fold?

I did just shove and he had 66
but I'd still flat the raise and go broke "!
Penquin is already in the pot for 1600 chips on the BB, so he's never folding to a min raise pre-flop. Bet something like 6.4k - 7.4 pre-flop and I think penquin is good enough to fold his pocket 6's and we take down an uncontested pot of 2.4K.
OK - Its almost a 3rd of our stack, but surely we would be looking to get them all in to any caller anyway right?
I know we want players in the pot but at this stage with 20BB slow playing pocket Aces is not my preferred option and if we let them in too cheaply, we have to accept that some of the time we are goin to get outdrawn.
Make them pay to see the flop, that way will be in much better shape when they don't flop that set.
A bigger bet pre-flop and we are only likely to be called by hands like 1010 - JJ, QQ, AK etc and if that had been the case, then this flop would have been massive for us and the oppo would find it very hard to fold down the streets or to any shove on the flop and we more than likely double up.
by minraising we get to make our bluffs cheaper when we don't have AA, and also if the blinds don't want to fold it means we get to play more hands in position against them when they're often going to have marginal holdings.
How about a bigger bet pre-flop as then maybe you can narrow his calling range to TT+, AJ+ etc, i feel, as he knows you have a very strong hand. Consequently you may then be able to dismiss this flop. As it is the set is there probably but the min raise allows him to involve himself. Mind, i know how you feel a i put up two posts with KK hands in the last 10 days and for the same reason as you. That check raise really is a killer, isn't it/ Mine were early T situations so slightly different but similar in some ways.
Hi mj...
Is this so late and if it is then why not shove then...would you have called with 66. I wouldn't. I just think a min raise allowed people to see a flop and make a play...that's all. However, that's the nature of the game isn't it. If we've got to the stage of Ai's then do it but i don't think where here yet imo.
A bigger bet may have got a player trying to steal with an AI that Waller would have called. a min raise IMO give too many the opportunity to see a flop especially the bb. Cheers anyway...
If u min raise these & 4x AA I think people may spot this.
Against named player this doesnt apply but especially at level we play most peeps even at this late stage of tourney cant resist calling min raise from bb with any 2. Why stop em when u have AA?
