400nl AA

[Bigmoney]

CO is passive, Button is TAG, prolly 2p2. Am I missing value by always raising?

IMO, a call says "I have a really good hand" and a 4bet says "I have AA".
edit: unless you have a history

4-bet. cc is really just as scary if not more scary since the possibility of a squeeze is now eliminated and you get more money in the pot in the event that someone likes their hand a lot.

EDIT: i think $128 is a good number.

I'm a fan of raising this, especially out of position. OOP overpairs are tricky to play. On the button or CO is a different story, sometimes I'll slow play P/F but definitely not in the blinds, if I take it down then so be it.

I am not sure about this one. It got HU and we do not want to give UTG a chance to get out of this hand. I`d be more inclined to just call and get the rest of his stack on the flop.
