raise more preflop. I'd just shove the flop. You may be against a set but you could also be against other stuff like fds.

Why would you say that. People playing short usaually suck just get as much as you can in preflop.

Re: good result- but the right play all the time? NL25
 

This is all completly wrong. These players are probebly bad they will call you reraise with all shorts of stuff. The initial raise was small anyway. In general raising for info in NL is bad.

calling is sweet here because we have the nuts and want a family pot. i mean we can't win a big pot without tarping, ldo. however, we need to reraise w/ kk for information so that if 4bet we can make the right (but painfully correct) fold.

Calling here with this many people in the pot is beyond awful IMO. You have the nuts.. charge them to stay in. Don't give them cheap flops with aa

To all you people saying that we should just call PF(which is wrong in the first place). Also notice that there are two shorties! They will get in much easier than a full stack.

This thread also explains the reason money funnels up from micro stakes into high limit players' hands...

Re: good result- but the right play all the time? NL25
 

If you often see family pots like this when there has been a raise and a re-raise you should consider overbetting the pot pre-flop. Instead of the normal $2.5 that you would 3bet you could make it $4 or something. Best case scenario would be that someone 4bets/pushes. You have the absolute nuts pre-flop and the more money you can put in the better.

If Button drops out at this point you'd be happy, too, as you can then mindlessly push any flop against the shorties.

well i can safely say i will never pussy-raise AA preflop ever again...
