Ok i just sat, so no reads, this was a wierd hand, and i have never taken this line. But i kinda thought it was optimal. I planned on c/r allin on flop, but he checked behind... Thoughts on my Turn C/R... is this to thin?

I think the optimal play would be to get half your stack in with aces preflop. Especially when you can isolate heads-up and otherwise might have to play a three-way pot. The fact that you raised less than full pot initially and that villian was in position should give him a fairly wide 3-betting range so I wouldn't worry too much about being up against better aces.

yea, i think i just repot it pf. Your plan of c/ring the flop isn't going to get paid off very light, peopel will just assume you actually hit the flop hard (and your AA56 probably did not)

Calling pre-flop is pretty bad IMHO. You are inviting MP2 to stay in (I'm actually rather surprised that he folded when he could close the action and be in position) and your hand plays much better heads-up than 3-way.

Just about anytime you can get 50% or more of your stack in pre-flop, heads-up, with AAxx you should take it.

yeah i'd save this for a spot where you need a c/r to get committed on the flop.
