Playing Two Pair vs River Aggression

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen the initial post, please go here: Battle of the Big Stack Regulars then come back for the results!

Here is the initial post with results:

1-2 no limit, live cash game.  Villain is well known to me; he’s a very good aggressive player with a large preflop playing range…any suited ace, connector, big cards type.  We each have a lot of respect for the other and generally avoid being in a hand together.  Both players are cautious around the other cuz the styles are similar, and both are the table big stacks, about 400-500 each 1 hour into a new table with 200 max buy in.

Villain BB, Hero seat 7 after button.  Hero has 8d9d and raises to 15$.  Fold around to Villain who calls, plus chronic calling station in seat 5 after button.  Flop 7c8h9h.  Villain bets 20 into 47$ pot, calling station folds.  Hero tanks then reraises to 60.  Villain tanks then calls.  Turn is Qs.  Villain check hero check.  River As.  Villain bets $40 into $162 (after rake) pot.

I called and lost to 10J offsuit; I put him on ace low heart, and I believe that he either knew I put him on that, or he put me on the heart draw.  I don’t believe he put me on 2 pr; or  he may have expected a chop.

Now what do you think?

Somewhat anti-climatic as we will never know what Villain held. But that shouldn’t deter our thought process. We need to make the right decisions with the information at hand, not based upon the results! Thanks for all the comments!

1. Full Tilt Million Dollar Challenge: The Conclusion

Most of you called for the Villain to push and I don’t necessarily disagree with you. When the pot is raised preflop in  these 100BB games, it’s near impossible to get away from AA on the flop unless the board is monotone or paired.

But I think I hero is representing an exceptionally strong hand by raising the almost potsized bet. Could a case be made for folding AA here? I don’t think so. I think a call is decent here. Then see what the hero does on the turn. At the end of the day, we only have a one pair hand and we are growing the pot out of position.

Thoughts?
