Is this an ok line with AAxx ds from the SB?
 

Obviously this screams aces, but I manage to get a large chunk of the other players' chips in if they want to call. It feels a little bit donkish. What do you think? Obviously I don't want to do this every time I have AAxx in the SB.

Looks standard.

Anyone like a min raise in the SB?

It looks weak and may get someone to reraise (then you can come over the top). If not, it makes the pot twice as big preflop (potentially doubling the river pot).

As played, you are 4 way, OOP, and everyone knows you have AAXX. If you don't hit this flop hard (an A, straight draw, flush draw or J7X) you may want to c/f.

Nah look at stack sizes. I have a hard time finding a c/f on most flops

Ah, you are right. I only noticed your stack for some reason. The only player that can hurt you is UTG, but there is too much money out there to not bet pot on flop.

I like it. Looks like you have Aces, but you have more than 30% of your effective stack going in. I'd hate to get a call from the BB and lose the other two with AAxx this nice.

I think you should be raising the first time around: this hand is just way too strong to complete, especially since the BB isn't going to raise all that often. I would take your line with really ragged AAxx, where I'd rather just see a cheap flop in crappy position, but will gladly take the opportunity to get a large chunk in PF.

If he does first raise in sb, no one except BB would reraise him because everyone has position on him. I might miniraise from sb, but that would be as an incentive for the bb to shove his 4 cards.

you should be getting as much money in possible pf at every opportunity w/ this holding

i don't think this is true even though in this situation it's definitely true as all the players left don't have a big stack and you have very good aces.
