Default Re: NL5: AA faces lots of action on the flop

The raise preflop advice I expected. In theory I totally agree, I've got the best hand possible at this stage so I want to bet as much as I can.

My issue though is this, when I see somebody 5bet at NL5 it's (almost) always AA/KK and it makes the post flop betting sooooo transparent. Unless everybody else is braindead they'll spot it too and they'll go into setmining/headhunting mode, and that sucks balls.

Also there are only th blinds left to act should I call. Doesn't the value of conceling your hand and getting extra bets out of CO outweight the loss of value should SB or BB call a 6xBB bet? Basically I dont think that SB/BB will call a large PF bet often enough to justify my anouncing that I've got a super hand PF, chances are I'll end up in a 2/3way pot anyway, which is ideal.

Does that make any sense or am I talking out my arse here, lol?

Thx for the responses so far
