i dunno, i dont like limping with aces in the first place, because i dont really limp with any hands, so its suspicious.

and i agree, calling here preflop isnt terrible, and the flop is a no brainer. i guess its just the idea of.... someone thats making this thread in the first place is fairly new at poker, otherwise you would understand that theres no reason not to go broke on this flop everytime. and for me, for someone new to poker... just raise with your good hands, ya know? try to learn proper abc poker before you start trying to play fancy with big hands. i just notice so much with good players this insatiable desire to raise with your marginal hands and to slowplay all your good hands, and you really dont need to do that. and it annoys me when friends or people i wanna help play silly [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Fair enough. FWIW I open-raise with AA here everytime, because I all but never open-limp. But given he did, and given the ridiculous 10xbb raise, I think this is a rare spot I would get "fancy" and just call.
