I play it the same way.

Reraising here is bad unless you expect someone without AA to oblige you and put in another raise. Playing big pots out of position with a well defined hand is not the way to riches. Also, effective stacks are just bad for a reraise. You have to reraise into that middle ground of 10-40% of your stack. Just do what you did, suck it up and call pre flop, expecting to check fold most flops.

The only reason you'd fold your quite high quality hand here is if you believe the raiser is a better player than you and you simply dont' want to engage him in a big pot... in which case you probably should be on another table.

I guess we disagree on the quality of the hand eventhough we both know that the strength of a hand includes the position in which you are dealt it.

But beyond that there's just a little bit more to this situation than the simplicity of all you prone to the Standard Hand Analysis Syndrome would like to imply.

I think you played the hand extremely well and it's not close or interesting, I can't understand why there are all these other posts.

As played it's perfect... My problem is Troll suggesting he might fold it preflop.
