AA multi-way

After I got no respect from my pfr, I knew it was to small. But what to do on the flop?

Button is loose and not that good of a player. UTG is very good semi-loose aggressive and a player I had tried to avoid tangling with.

Definitely raise some more preflop. Anyways, I'm calling the flop no doubt. I wouldn't think twice about it.

make it 16 preflop, get all up ins on this flop. seriously, were you really gonna bet like half your stack and then fold?

not as easy a call as you might think if hes a good player since this is isnt a bluff (no apparent FE vs you given stacks, presence of allin player)

that being said, i instacall

If you're as deep as he is, it's a decision, but you're calling $45 to win $215, almost 5 to 1? Instacall, he's got a flush draw, AJ often here. Two pair you can outdraw. Button looks like a fish, possibly a slowplayed KK. He also may be artificially raising a big number to try to scare you out of the pot = more reason to call.

My thinking is UTG could be playing an overpair and trying to isolate button. He generally doesn't push with a flush draw before it comes, but it could be AJ[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], if it was just button it would be an insta-call, but I am wary of UTG.

Any other opinions?

Call.

Thanks for the feedback. I called. Results in white:

Button showed AJ for top pair, top kicker.
UTG showed JJ for flopped set.
My one outer failed to arrive and MHING.
