In Limit HE, I've had my pocket AA drawn out upon so many times that I tend to play them cautiously. In No-Limit, I know how to correctly raise or overbet my AA pre-flop, depending on the situation. But it is not possible in Limit.
"This Guy" has been raising into me pre-flop with hands like A8s & KJo, and limping many mediocre hands. His flop re-raise had me scared that he had 2 pair or better, so I just called down. He procedes to throw question marks at me ("? NH"). After I responded with "nice try", he starts saying I played it "weak" & "like a pu***". I didn't want to tell him his re-raise scared me, so I told him to "keep bluffing at overcards, I need the $$".
Should I have capped him on the flop or was I correctly cautious?
