AAxx how to play?
2/2 live 5 to call 8 handed
V usually opens small to like 15, rarely pots. Have seen him flat vs Heros open with AKJT ds in btn. Postflop he cbets/x/bets with marginal showdown hands like AAxx on paired board, flush board etc. Can't tell if he's valuebetting or bluffing. But when he does get the money in on flop, he's usually good or with nutted draws. Has seen him min4bet in bb with AAJx and check/folds on J68r 4way pot vs 1/3 bet + 1/3pot shove + another 1/2 pot shove.
V is up at least 1.5k tonight.
Effective 450

Were we supposed to 3bet??? We have very low fold equity. Once we 3bet we just ship on any flop???

Pretty sweet limp raise spot pre.
As played V almost never hits this flop better than aces. Button is pretty capped too, he will usually have a pair, sometimes with a straight draw. I think we should maximize fold equity and pot.

Agree 100%, this is a raise. V almost never has better that you here with having the 8 in your hand. The only hand you don't want to see from him is an AA45 type of hand. If the btn has 33 or 22 here somehow, so be it. Pot it.
