Live game 1-2
Another table just broke, 2 new players (CO and dealer) arrive.
This is the 4th hand and first I play with these new guys at the table.
As soon as he sat down, CO called a 5 bet with 3 prev. callers with 8-4 offsuit and cracked SB's pocket kings 3 hands ago, won by showdown after calling 3 barrels with a backdoor 8 high flush draw on the river, no ace/gutshit on board. Dealer, also new, is asian and old. He can't speak french or english and must surely work in a chinese restaurant in china town, judging by his wontonsou pickahp odor. He seems like a complete fish, not only by how he plays but also by how he smells, also limped every 4bets and check/folded all past hands. I've just played vs SB for 4 hours straight, very bad player, doesn't bluff and limps in a lot, talks too much, gives me a ton of credit, always shows cards, very passive, 200$ down to me and I won all 5 showdowns vs him. I should be there waiting for him at the poker place, instead of typing this, that's how bad he is.
CO is 400$ deep
Dealer has 130$
SB has 170$
Hero has 670$ (wsup hoes)
CO raises to 12$
Dealer calls
SB calls
I raise to 50$
Everyone folds
I have aces, so my desire when I put 50$ (UH! impala!) was I want to get called or raised by 1 guy and isolate him. And Over-bet flop and profit. But after thinking about it, I knew these guys gave me a lot credit, maybe because I look like a fucking psycho when I bet (see Martin Stasko). Unlike the 2-5$ table which im used to play that's infested with drunk mexicans, I have to trick the donks here, because man, live play is easy, its just a matter of time investement, and spending 6 hours on a seat without internet porn just to make 400$, its mehh....(yes I watch porn while playing 12 tables). You can't really lose at live cash games, you just gotta get up to urinate your goddamn life every 2 hours, smell old people, get up to get beer, listen to the 9 poker coaches at your table, etc. and that's worst than losing money.
Bottom line, if I don't make fast money constantly at live poker, I'm a noob, even if I win 400$ after 6 hours. I have to vary my image, change my voice tone, change my behavior when I throw chips in, you know the very basic stuff.
I know if I quickly raise less than 50$(say 35$) with a virgin voice, provocative jewish hand motion when I put the chips in and look away from the peoples face, and scratch my nose, I will get called. After reflection, I thought isn't this what you normally want to do with aces? I know people say aces always get cracked, but what if I somehow go heads up with money in the pot, show a weak hand (could be 4bet bluff in position) and act like I missed every card on the board and play the comedy(aka quick and loud friendly check), the donk has to start betting/calling amounts relative to the pot that his stack cannot handle, there's no way a donk will fold a pot half his stack without trying to stab it, or call a weakish bet. Either top pair or draw will result in an all in, theres more than 100$ in the pot before first barrel, that's about what 2 of those 3 guys would have left in stack.
I'm trying to debate if it would be profitable to do a low 4-bet disguised as a bluff with the aces, slow play flop and turn and show no self confidence vs >100BB fishes, with the risk of being limped by up to 3 monkeys?
What if you get aces on a worse position? Say UTG+1,+2 full ring, do you call/raise blind?
