Am I Playing this right?
AAroddersAA:
It"s always hard with these without any stats but assuming our opponent is a fairly standard APAT level player.
What is a reasonable range for us to give our opponent preflop? (do we have any stats on PFR or PFR from EP?) Given than he has raised bigger than normal it"s reasonable to assume a strong one (I know strong is supposed to mean weak etc, but it doesn"t). So How strong of a range do we give him. The early position should make it stronger again. What hands are in this range, certainly AA,KK and QQ. I also think we could include AK and maybe AQs. How do we fare against that range?
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 61.721% 61.52% 00.20% 40030820 129347.00 { QQ+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand 1: 38.279% 38.08% 00.20% 24778038 129347.00 { TcTd }
OK so we don"t like that. What if we add AQos and AJ
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 53.953% 53.76% 00.20% 60751860 221277.00 { QQ+, AJs+, AJo+ }
Hand 1: 46.047% 45.85% 00.20% 51817650 221277.00 { TcTd }
This is still a fold
If we add JJ, 99 and 88
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 50.846% 50.64% 00.20% 72838680 294597.00 { JJ+, 99-88, AJs+, AJo+ }
Hand 1: 49.154% 48.95% 00.20% 70405662 294597.00 { TcTd }
OK now we are nearly 50/50 but I think our range is far to wide here and our hand plays terrible against this range post flop anyway.
So fold pre without implied odds. It"s not really a spot where you can lose a small pot or win a big one and as other have said it"s really hard to know where you are post flop.
As played it"s easy, get it in on the flop. We have flopped golden and become a favorite against all of the above hand ranges.

After we see the result it is obv much easier for us all to find reasons to fold pre, but in reality, don"t we all flat call and then get it in on the flop in that situation? I reckon most of us probably would.

Exactly.
35x deep.... I think it"s overly nitty to be chucking TT away on the button against a single raiser.

Against very specific opponents who would double-barrel with overs you could perhaps take a risk and call flop. However the line you"ve taken is totally standard.
