    I have aa in mid position player 1 min raises in mid I raise pot in a cash game 3c6c and get 2 cold callers and the previous raiser calls. Flop comes kq7 2hearts and the first guy bet pot (small blind guy) he bets 1.80€ in a 1.80€ leaving €1 behind and the big blind blinds other guy calls. Thing is the guy who raised pot here looks like he could only really have kq or 777. Why would you raise less than all in with any draw? Why would you raise so much with kj? Anyway i folded he had 67suited and the other guy won with qj

    In low stakes cash games I tend to assume my opponents are not that bright and will overplay their hands. That said, I'm not folding here. I raise and make them pay to draw out. Of course that's easy to say in retrospect, but the point here is that you're playing low stakes and you probably should give players less credit until they prove they know what they're doing.

    First off stop giving your opponents so much credit at this level. Youre assigning ranges to them that are your ranges not theirs. If you have a big hand you need to pretty much make them show they are competent players. You might lose a buy in in the process but cards is not about 1 buy in its about the grind and playing your opponents over time. Hope this helped and GL OP in the future

    Couldn't agree more - At 3/6c I would figure that this would be a +EV shove

    if You're scared to lose with AA in a tiny game like that why are you even playing poker?
    Losses are normal in poker, you have to learn to handle the loss just like you handle wins.
    You can't win by folding, that is all I will add to this short thread.
