Is SB slow-playing me big time or is this an easy call?
I hate giving up AA at this buy-in because you see so much weirdness. This guy seems solid. 3X seems unlikely, so the only worry is 55 & 99.

I have 202 hands on him and he is:
VPIP:14%
PFR:8.4%

Flop: (t360) 3 5 3 (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t150, MP1 folds, SB calls t150, BB folds

Turn: (t660) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t300, SB raises to t1080 all in, Hero???

I'm certainly not folding.

Yeah, I rivered an A to have the better full house, A's full of 3's versus 5's full of 3's, and was totally berated by multiple people for being a fish and being totally outplayed. So I just thought I would check. My response to the table was "I never lose with AA".

From a pure pot odds standpoint, you need to risk 780 to win over 2000. Sure there is a good possibility he has 55 or 99 here, but not THAT good IMO. I think you see alot of pairs here you beat like TT, JJ, QQ. Plus he could have something really random, though the random hands may be ones that beat you too so I wouldn't really count them.

lolol- did the dude that flatted you with 53o OOP have something to say about it? epic

edit: I know I've said this once before on DC, but I'll say it again: If I play a full out SNG session and do not get berated at least once by a rando, I consider it a failure of a session.

Err.. from the way I read it AMT, it sounds like the guy flatted him with 55 OOP.

On a seperate note, Super Troopers is one of my favorite movies of all time.

"Sit down rando..."

oops, you're right, I'm dumb. The edit still stands though!

I would make the same call and go broke here all day.
The times where opponent would have boat here 80% of the time are long gone, and many people on the internetz pokerz are going to shove on you with any pair, flushdraw, gutterballs etc. here.
Funny I don't get berated very often at sitngos but then again maybe that is because I have a stupid looking fish in my avatar. After all everyone knows not to berate the fish

This is so true, its not even funny. The more I get berated = +EV

And yes I would call this also, the way played.

I was just berated in the Daily A because I raised on some tight guys BB with Q9s on the button and flopped 99A. He called with A10 and was hurt. A couple hands later I folded preflop and he goes "What you cant call with your Q9 again?". I love it when people get their facts wrong to suit their situation. It was funny because the guy didn't play his hand bad, but afterwards he turned into a massive dick. Anyway, I know we all have these stories they are funny.

I said something to the fact that making a raise with Q9 is far different than calling a raise with Q9, but he didnt care or seem to notice.
