Re: Main Event some guy raises UTG and gets hand killed and shows AA ?

btw I'd thnik the exact opposite, that its a clear raise. A very large % of hands that call/play with you include aces. These hands are no longer likely to exist. Very good spot to raise with any 2 against non-genius opponents, especially if there are antes.
Of course if called your hand goes way down in value, I think this is counteracted by the fact that you are definitely less likely to be played with. Also your hand isn't that strong to begin with so a decent amount of it's value comes from stealing the blinds.

From the raising with ATC standpoint, it's also unlikely that a player with Ace-x will now call your raise, since they would be drawing to 4 outs for a pair instead of 6. So I like a raise here with all sorts of hands, although ATC is probably overdoing it with no antes.
