Live AA hand at the Taj - 1/2 NL - Play along with me...

you have to bet the flop. A pot size bet is good. This way if anyone of them calls they risk a good portion of their stack. So you are putting pressure on them and you probably have them beat. So if they have like JJ or QQ or maybe even 99 then they might be forced to put the rest of their money in . Also the pot is a good sized pot and the flop is where you have to be aggressive and get info about what their hands are. you can't be passive on the flop. Now the Villian likely has AK or AQ, or a pair and is scared that a ten hit, either way your pot size bet is good because if they call the flop they are commmited to the pot and you just chopped away at their stack. So the pot size bet is all about pressure.
