Re: AA - Low coordinated board
idk why, but I feel like I'm gonna get flamed for saying this, but whatev.
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").
So for example, this would've been a good spot to make it like 1.65 preflop. If you did that, you wouldn't even bat an eye about getting all-in on this flop.
Like everything with poker, this isn't a mandate from the stars. It's situational. But I find it's a pretty good to keep in mind.
P.S. I'm not saying open-raise to 10BBs or anything ridiculous like that. Just raise big when it makes sense to raise big lol. Clever clever stuff, huh?
