Flat and play a flop in position, similar to my nines the other day. You want him thinking his A-small is good if he catches.

[Edit] I mean flat the initial raise obv.

Yeah i think this is probs best course of action to take.   Fancied that AQ is probably in front right now  or racing.  Stong play from him to 4 bet.

I pass.  Unless he has been really active pre-flop previously - I can't see him having AJ or worse here.

I think the only hand you need to be worried about here is AK, but it's fair to assume he has a reasonable hand here.

Could make arguments for all three options really. I think it's too dangerous you're coin flipping if you shove. 99s and such. I'm not ecstatic about a call but perhaps the best option here seeing as you have position.

This could easily be AA-QQ as well as AK.  We have already re-raised him once so he probably feels he can get us to shove so no need to play it trickily from his point of view?

Flat the original raise, to:

1, Disguise our strength
2, Play a flop in position
3, Allow him to bluff off his chips
4, Not get carried away early and limit our loses if the flop is of no use


If we opt to re-raise, fold to 4-bet...
