Playing AA from Big Blind

[OttawaTilt]

What would you do with AA in the big blind with 4 limpers?

[Quester]

Raise it up! Make it like 6-8 times the big blind. You want to punish limpers and your hand loses value quickly in a multiway pot.

yes, easy raise. I typically just mash the pot button here pre-flop. Remember AA easily becomes a very vulnerable hand once the flop is out (especially with 4 limpers). Ideally you want to get heads up or at worst against 2 villains.

Would you play the hand differently early in a tournament as opposed to late in a tournament?

This is a tournament hand? Blah. this forum is for No Limit Cash games. I thought that is what you were playing from you other post and that is why I recommended you come here. Note there is a forum for Tournament Poker > Small stakes mtt.

OK, then you want to hang out in the Small stakes MTT forum and the STT strategy forum to improve.
