Default Is this a good EV play with AA?

Daily 15K. 10$ buyin, 10 minute levels. 7th hand in. 2150ish runners.

Does this ever get paid? Or is this total waste?

4 limpers, and the sb, and bb still in the hand.

its obviously +EV, but I don't think its nearly as good as raising to 200-300.

I don't really mind it. And would expect to get called half the time. So early there is always some idiot with 66 that thinks it's a race.

QFT. Or KJ. Of course you realize you are getting busted here on the AQT flop? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Suppose you're in the BB. Do you guys call this bet with QQ? (assuming it's the first raise of this nature by villian)

in a 10 10 minute I call with QQ in BB...if facing AA I just move on...don't mind the push cause I've tried to raise to 300 and gotten 3 callers too often and I hate getting knocked out by idiots early

Just raise to 200 here. Like footnbaseball says you shouldnt be concerned with whether this is +EV (it obv is), but maximising our EV an this certainly isnt doing it.

I call going "wtf he shoves AA or KK? I call..... oh he does shove AA that sucked." (for the sake of appearing sane, try and say this internally not outloud)

Im calling with JJ+ and AK and I'm thinking long and hard with 99/1010. Everything else I fold probably.

What if it's the same situation, except you're at the main event.
