I'm also thinking that if he's got pocket paint (KK, QQ, JJ) he would have been more aggressive earlier, so in this situation I'm putting him on a made straight, trips, or a full house -- all of which turn my bullets into blanks. If it's a bluff, well, like others said: "Nice hand, sir." And if I'm thinking along these lines earlier in the hand, maybe I don't raise the river, either.

Oh, and for the person who asked, click the "Daily poker quiz" link under Shortcuts on the front page.

The SB raised pre-flop you know he has a high to mid pair perhaps. You know he doesnt have 65 or A-3 or anything else to make a straight or anything like that. I would go all in and sure it would pay off. Now you just doubled up. Folding this hand is not an option. Now if it came off K K 9 on the flop then maybe I would fold my AA becuase you know the guy might just have a K or maybe even 99. ALL IN IS MY ANSWER FOR THIS QUIZ..

Too many people drool when they get pocket AA. I don't think this is an automatic fold, but with all the given information and with the way the opponent is playing I'd throw it away. If it was the best hand, so what I'll get him/her next hand, but I'm not risking nearly all of the cash I have on the table for a hand that MIGHT be best right now, but could be drawing near or completely dead especially since you have no re-draw what so ever. Fold it.

I smell a rat, they had a 4 and got lucky and received a 3 of a kind, although i felt they might have been in the pot somewhat and might have been trying to bluff their way, but most likely when they went all in to risk all of their money , i would hope they had a decent hand. It would be very hard not to see with a pair of aces,but if they didnt have the 4 ,then they might have had a str. so chances of them bluffing was slim. I am sure if they were bluffing, the best move to do is fold and you would aventually catch them trying to bluff again and take them out so i would have folded and waited for the nutt hand and took them out aventually.

I love the daily quiz, it really does help improve your game play. I just wish there was 10 questions a day to answer.

folding AA on a 6 high board with half your stack in the middle already is so lolbad. His range is so much wider than 22, 66, any random 4, 53(?). You're getting like 63-1 on your overpair. super standard call.

Could have quads easy fold were talking lot of money there so wait for a better spot i say . Cheers ,

I have to say I chose to call. Only because it says both sides have been bluffing alot and the fact i dont see him going all in when you are betting so strongly at him. If he was holding the nuts why wouldnt he just wait for you to bet the river card.

i would call with aa.i fifure at worst he has a flush with straight draw.mabe a over pr thats smaller thasn mine

I call. At best, I'd hope he'd have small pair, 55 or small overpair like 7's or 8's. Even KK might call the raise ensuring no A on the flop before really moving forward. I'd feel ok about 2nd best with my AA in this situation.
