HaYep, it's a signature move of mine to make that move with AA and occasionally KK against one of our players who never believes I would make that play with a hand that good. He calls every.single.time.
So what’s the thought process here? That 25bb isn’t deep enough to three-bet?Pending the info Chippy asked for, I'd range Villain 66-JJ, AT-AQs, maybe KQs.
Disagree with U&D's opinion about the Villain. I see that play all the time by the best players in the world (granted, playing against other best players in the world). But yeah, usually Villain is the short stack or is shoving on shortest stack. So more info is needed.

I’d much rather take my chances with a 3-bet of, day 8bb, and then either get it all in, or regroup with 17bb.
Again, it’s almost a waste of time to speculate, without more information. But my take on the shover is that either you want to play this hand or not, and I think there are better ways to accomplish either goal, with 25bb.
What kind of ass three bets with nines pre?The thought process is that you are the one putting pressure on the caller, rather than him putting pressure on you. So let's say you 3-bet with 99 or AT and he shoves, you are in a pickle now. When you shove you put a lot of pressure in hands that are flipping with you like big Two Overs against your pairs and small pairs against your big Two Overs.
Take your own comment for example. If you're only calling that shove with AA, then it's profitable for Villain to shove 25BB with almost any two cards against your opening...
FWIW, my comment only applies in the absence of any other useful information. Of course I’m not only ever calling a 3-bet with AA.The thought process is that you are the one putting pressure on the caller, rather than him putting pressure on you.

Lol your memory is better than mine. I just remember the “really???” Look you gave me when I showed.LOL!!!! You mean 4-bet?
If I remember it right, you open your 99s, I 3-bet with AK and you 4-bet... I nit folded...
It was all made possible because of our previous night discussion about people not 4-bet bluffing enough, LOL!!!
I ended up folding the AK 'cause I underestimated you Tom, LOL!!! And because I was down 5 buy-ins already.
I wanted to keep it quite open before I added detail.
Villain has given reasonable action on the table all day. Doubled up 6th hand cracking KK with something like 6Jcc in a 3 bet pot, where they three bet a flop fd and turned the flush.
Recently lost half their big stack to a sponsored pro on the table, with two reasonable hands (flush versus flopped two pair)
Has raised and 3 bet a lot of hands.
Hero has been a been a bit nittier. (But no rock) Recently lost 35% of their stack to the villain (before they lost it to pro) with a flopped straight versus riveted flush. The villain had J4cc in a raised pot.
I will say she has three bet a high percentage preflop.
