$5 NL HE Full Ring: AA on T4QJ board...
Context: This player just arrived at the table a few hands ago, so I don't have a solid read on him. He makes a standard raise from UTG. I look down at rockets in MP, and come in for a 3bet, for 3 times his raise. I'm naturally looking for either a re-raise or a call. He smoothcalls OOP, so I'm putting him on QQ-TT, AQ-AJ (as I strongly believe that KK would have 4 bet me here, although he very well could have that as well).
The T4Q rainbow flop doesn't look too good to me, but he checks so I come in for a 2/3 pot cbet, which he again smoothcalls from OOP. Now alarms are going off in my head. A check/calls to me says he's either slowplaying a set with QQ or TT, or has AK and is confident in his overcards, and willing to continue with his GsSD. I'm hoping of course for the latter. I feel that AQ would have led out on the flop to protect his overpair/find out where he is in the hand, so I'm not guessing AQ here anymore, or AJ.
The turn only makes things worse, coming up a J; this time he leads out for about 1/3 the pot. Now alarm bells are really going off; he could very well have been playing JJ before, putting me on a big hand, or in the worst of cases he had AK and just landed a straight, and is still putting me on a big hand and is hoping for a call. There are just so many hands that have me crushed that open from EP (AK, QQ, JJ, TT), and his betting pattern suggests either a slowplayed monster or a draw (which just potentially hit). In addition, if I do call, what rivers can I really end up continuing with? I'm basically praying for a King for a straight, because even landing a third ace gives any K a straight. The question is, can I really fold rockets overpair? Thanks in advance for the comments. Hand is below, good luck out there!
