You have a better chance of this working heads up obv. Problem with your line is if one of your opponnents has a pocket pair or a 10 they arent folding.

so you just c/f every street.
doesnt my line look AAish?

Re: Flopping trip 5s with AK
 

I've always wondered, whats the point of saying you'd play AA like this. Aren't you trying to get paid off with AA ???

Re: Flopping trip 5s with AK
 

obv i wanna get paid off with aa, but the diff b/w aa and kk/qq/jj is that its so much less vulnerable. poor thinking?

thats why i asked in the op if i should play my whole range from preflop the same way postflop.

in this spot ill either get action or i wont, so should i be betting AA and c/f the rest?

Against thinking players you want to play your bluffs like the hand you are trying to represent.

Playing AA like this is fine, although you might scare off 77-TT when overcards come. But because it's 3-way we can assume someone has a pp and is going to bet. A problem is/could be that the pot is frickin' huge and ppl either play scared in big pots or they get hyperaggro crazy.

The turnbet isn't that bad imho. One of the others could try to steal on the turn if it get's checked again and you'll essentially be forced to c/f.
