Deepstacked with AA Stars .02/.05

cancon

OP's thoughts:
Poorly sized (too small) check raise for that board. Probably should have just lead flop for pot but a x/r to $2 is ok. Player 5 was the reason I was at the table. Prefer to be on his left but couldn't get there.

On river I have around 80% pot behind and villain has around 40% pot behind.

Villain 50/24 over 152 hands.

Thanks for the comments.

This should be Player 3, no?

I don't see a reason not to put it in on the river?

Check-raise is a bit of a fancy and useless move on a board smashed by your 3bet range. I think you allow way too many marginal worst hands to fold. Also since Villains will usually hit meh hands, checking with the goal of c-r is also the risk of a free card - do these Villain bet with KQ, a naked FD or A5s here ? V5 seems to be a bad maniac, so it's ok here but only for exploitation.

Also even if we want a c-r range, not sure we want AA. At least you unlock FD (not holding Ac), yet you block many TP / TP+gutshot which may want to call more often than most of other marginal holdings. So I'd rather just c-bet all AA and c-r a mix of TT and QQ for value.

Finally, your c-r size is way too small. Barely half pot. I usually aim for a pot size c-r - so around 2.40-50 here. V will mostly continues with sets and combo draws, so it's ok to charge more. And V5 doesn't look like someone who likes to fold, so stomp on his inelasticity (so more 2.50, maybe even more?).
Also by raising bigger (with the hypothesis that V2 won't call), pot on turn will be 6.75$ and eff. stacks 7.44$. Considering V5's action, he likes his hand. So we can now shove on turn too.

Thanks Red...I admit that I am bad at recognizing c-r spots where I am c-r for value vs c-r for the added fold equity. Why are QQ in my c-r for value range here? Because villain is likely to continue with Ax hands? Also, how does my c-r range change here when I'm up against two opponents vs one opponent?

LeC...yeah...not sure why the player identification is off there. I copied and pasted from HM3 hh.
