I play this hand differntly.

First of all, you said you raised and he limp reraised, did you 4 bet and he cap? I'm not sure I understadn the pf play correctly b/c you said you 3 bet and he capped. Which is it?

I wouldn't go ahead and 3 bet the flop. Its pretty obvious he's got an overpair. Since you've got AA its unlikely there are going to be many overcards to his pair. I like to smooth call the flop and c/r the turns knowing he's betting the turn 100% of the time

I play this hand differntly.

I posted this hand for that reason, to see if anyone would play this a little "trickier".

I'm not sure I understadn the pf play correctly b/c you said you 3 bet and he capped. Which is it?

I played the hand in Las Vegas the action goes three bets and then a cap. I declared cap, thinking I capped action.

I wouldn't go ahead and 3 bet the flop. Its pretty obvious he's got an overpair. Since you've got AA its unlikely there are going to be many overcards to his pair. I like to smooth call the flop and c/r the turns knowing he's betting the turn 100% of the time

After I reviewed the hand in my head, I realized I might have gotten more money check raising the turn.

You've basically tipped off your hand and there is no reason to introduce any fancy plays at this point.

Exactly why I played the hand as I did. I already pretty much said, I have aces.

I did have Aces a few hands earlier. This is what caused me to think about how I played them this time.

Mike,

I can see the merits of capping and calling PF, but I think capping and playing it straightfoward are best since there are so many people.

Yes, you are in a good position to C/R an innoculous board at your choosing, but that might not always be the case, and with 5 other players in, you might be behind unknowingly and get pwned by some BS hand.

Since you just called and he raised your bet on the flop, I would C/R the turn and find Fred G. Sanford to high-five after you collect many bets from UTG.

The cap is 5 bets in Vegas.

Edit: Just reread and realized you clarified that. Anyway I'd definitely 4-bet preflop. Gives him a chance to 5bet with his premium.

Given how you played it I wouldn't 3bet the flop. Seems like an easy turn checkraise.
