live $42 tounry. beening playing about 45 mins, villain1 seems tight. She had about 5000, I had about 4000. villain2 had about 1500, and he didn't know how to play at all.
blinds are 25/50
I was SB, villain1 was BB, and villain2 was the CO
4 limpers called.
I had A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
I raised to 250, and villian1 called, and so did 3 of the 4 limpers.
flop comes 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I betted 1000, villian1 goes allin.

i dont know
villian1 just seems to want to keep people out the flush draw
but i wouldnt be suprised if either villian1 or villian2 has QJ here
id put villian1 on something like AT and villian2 on QJ
might just call here because vill1 is tight and prob doesnt have a straight

You have to raise more pre-flop. A common "rule" used by many people is to raise 3xBB plus 1 BB for each limper. So raise to at least 350... Too many people raise too small with AA, because they are afraid to lose customers. Don't be! Playing a 5-way pot OOP with AA is not desireable...

So... Fold or not? It's very read dependant. Villain 1 could have a made hand, but it's also very possible it's some kind of combo draw. It's not an easy decision and you got to pay for it by being greedy pre-flop.

ur beat and your stack isnt to bad after a fold.

i think she has a set here like always.

sure there is the chance of some combo draw with JT, AJh etc

pair plus draw seems less likely if she is tight while AJh, AQh,AKh and TT-88 seems more likely. you are either crushed, slightly ahead/behind or quite good (AKh). don´t seem like a fun situation

Raise to 400 preflop. Not an easy fold but you are probably beat here by a tight player. Looks like they are trying to shut out draws with a decent hand- two pair, set, or made straight.
