Default Re: AA - Low coordinated board

Whenever it makes sense to (e.g. There's a bunch of limpers and you're OOP), try to get about 8%-12% of your effective stack in preflop with big one-pair hands JJ+, AK, and AQ. This makes it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for your opponents to play profitably against you, and it also makes for very easy decisions (i.e. "I got 10% of my stack in preflop with Aces. Time to get all-in").

Why is this the case??

Why does 10% of your stack in pre flop mean you should auto go in post flop??

What if flop is 3 spades giving made flush to villian? Or 2 kings meaning 1 king has you behind?

Sorry if this is just the toatally wrong way to look at things but I would like to know the balance between your investment in the pot and how scary the board is?

Thanks in advance
