Default Re: AA on an ugly board

I'd just like to comment on the suggestion of raising to $8 pf.

No. Never. I mean wtf!?!

The standard 3-bet is 3-4 times the opening raise, I usually make it 3,5*opener plus a little extra for limpers/callers in-between. If we raise to $8 we fold out all hands except QQ+ and maybe AK AND we can't 3-bet light (which you should do at NL 50 at least versus positionally aware opponents). We lose a ton of value we would have made if the opponent had called with AQ and hit his Tp. Sure, if we want to play this the easiest way possible we raise AI pf but that just might not be the best way and I hope you see why.

Pf here I'd raise to 5.5.
