Is slow playing AA really so common in NL???

[Webster]

I'm making the transition from a $5/10 Limit player then to NL SNGs and now working into micro NL Cash games.

In my first serious 600 hands I have run into SO many people slow playing AA. Is there something I'm miss here? I've beaten them a few times and have been crushed more then once.

In Limit slow playing was a no no. Have the rules changed of am I just running into micro players playing tricky.

You're most likely running into micro players playing stupid.

OK - thanks - I thought I was finding some hidden thing in NL that was different then Limit - I have to admit the slow players are KILLING me but then again I have really been paid off.

Then I play them hard and get spanked.

I was in the BB with AA with SIX limpers. OK - I have to try to get 1 on 1 so I make a 7BB bet and all fold.

30 hands later - same thing - AA in the BB and five limpers.

I make a 5BB bet and get heads - up.

Flop is 47T rainbow. MP1 bets and I push all in. he follows with AT and hits his third ten. CRAP!!

Should I have just pushed pre-flop??? to take the 5 limps?

that is what u want right? if he has 2 outs to improve and the money goes in there is nothing u can do, thats poker

I've heard there is less variance in NL but man - I'm on a roller coaster!! OF course - it's Bodog so need I say more! 60% flops you are bound to have a greater fluctuation.

Oddly I play better at Absolute where the flop % is more like 35% - I actually have a clue what people are playing LOL

You might be overvaluing your TPGK hands. They are the nuts in limit and close to the nuts in raised pots and later in SNGs, but need to be played more cautiously with 100BBs.
