Re: 5cd hand .25/.50- Dropping the aces...
If you don't think your AA might be good here:
I definitely toss the As and draw to the royal. You're a little less than 3:1 against making your hand -- only slightly worse odds than drawing three and hitting Aces-up and considerably better odds than catching trips.
The trick is having a good enough read on your foes to decide whether your pair of aces might already be good. If you think they might, then hold onto them.
