Default Re: AA opens and gets soooooo much action pre flop. Shall we shove???

Your play in both hands were very weak. Anyone who 5-bets MINIMUM preflop is not going to fold to a shove, so shove. If I were holding KK, I wouldn't have 5-bet min, so I would have definitely went all in preflop vs. an unknown and paid off AA.

In hand 1, you bet $20 into an $80 5-bet pot, giving your opponent 5-1 odds. Don't ever do it with such a huge pot. Seems to me like you're afraid of scaring him off the pot and you want to lure him in with some cheap action. The problem with that is you're giving drawing hands great odds to outdraw you, and you're not getting paid off by hands that would have called a much bigger bet.

Hand 2 on the flop, same idea. Don't be afraid to chase out action. You need to bet larger. Judging from these two hands I think you have a lot of work to do with your game.

Good luck.
