Default Re: $60t: AA lost at sea

I actually like the idea of bet 1/2 pot on the flop. You took the lead pre-flop, and if your opponents know anything about odds, they know that AK would fit your raise and, at least initially, is more likely than AA, KK, QQ, etc,(though if they are paying attention the odds of AK and KK are pretty darn small right now...KK imposibile if they have a K in their hand). I think if you apply pressure...

1) you get a lot of information...a call may be a Kx, or a lower pair that thinks they have the best of it (for some reason...I see that a lot) and you may pick up the pot right there.

2) I don't feel that losing 1/3 your stack is a commital at this point with blinds T50. Still sitting on 20 BB, though not ideal, this is not yet a death sentence.

I think you go for the bet on the flop, then go into c/c or c/f depending on what kind of action there is (although 1 c/c probably does commit you and eliminates c/f as a possibility, so you probably have to make that decision on the Turn).
