Raise 3xBB.

If tight and a couple limp you won't get the raiser than you so want to trap. Better save the call-reraise for a looser game.

Still plenty behind you to want to call a raise with even when tight table.

If I had limped before, I would limp here. If limping is going to be viewed suspiciously then 3X.

Just raise a standard amount. Sorry your aces didn't get any action.

to be honest, I don't like your "standard raise"... not even 3xBB with antes in there?

I'm raising here AT LEAST 1500...

As played I'm betting out for around 2k , pretty standard no?

Bet 2/3 pot, call shove.

If he flat calls, I'm c/f a lot of scary turns.

skier, betting 2/3s then c/f turn leaves you at about 10x. you dont mind playing 10x this late? not to mention, i think that flop is pretty favorable for my AA-----obv its not great though.
