    I have a little under 20 bb's and UTG has approx. 20. His poker tracker numbers are 18/14 and he seems pretty tight in ep but continuation bets 100% of the time and often 2 barrels. I had a tight image but was just recently caught making a move.

    UTG raises and I have AA. Giving him a range of 88+. AJs+, AQo+, what's the best move to maximize the amount of chips I win? In the long run would a smooth call or a reraise make the most money against an UTG's range?

    if thats his range, he probably isnt folding if you shove.

    i like a call here though, possibly invite a squeeze behind you, and if he is cont betting like you say he is, then you have an easy flop shove

    I'd do whatever I'd been doing the whole time. If you've been overbetting/overshoving then do that. If you've been cold calling bets then I'd do that, unless you'd rather go all in pre to either run em or just take it down right there.

    Either flat or shpi is fine. Or raise to 8-10k. I tend to flat more unless vs a strong player who would immediately know i had aa or kk.
