I am wondering about the size of the pre flop raise and is pushing here the right move?

[iheartponeez]

Push is right, but you should be raising to 4BB+1BB per limpers, so $1 in this case.

dont minraise with Aces. It's terrible! Suited connectors, or small pairs can easily call and stack you if they hit. You want a big pot you need a bigger raise. (Best not to minraise anything preflop)
Raise .75$ to 1$ preflop, 2/3 to potsize on the flop and push any raise. I would even do this without the flush-ace. With some outs to the nuts it's a no-brainer.

Please please raise to $1 preflop. I literally stacked the same guy yesterday 2/3 hands when he had AA because he limped or min-raised and I hit some random two pair with some trash hand. This will happen in general if you don't isolate.

Postflop is standard though when you're holding the A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

thanks guys

Could someone explain to me why postflop is standard? Readless, I might jam it but if villain is your typical microstakes LAP, won't they show up with a set or made flush much more often than a lower overpair?

Thats the worst case scenraio in which case you sill have plenty outs to improve, even thinking of folding here is burning money
