[100nl] Two funny AA spots with big PF multiway action

[Awesemo]

I'm not sure why you think hand #1 is dangerous. The way you played it is fine.

Hand #2, I don't think you can just check fold the flop. What indication is there that someone has you beat? And you fold to a bet that is less than half the pot? I would definitely bet out $40 or so.

WHAT THE [censored] ARE YOU DOING IN HAND 2? THIS IS LIKE THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN A HAND PLAYED ON THE FLOP. PLEASE TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE.

I would probably do something fancy like lead $25 or $30 on the flop in hand 1 and obviously call a shove, but this line is also fine. I wouldn't mind just calling either and seeing if anyone else comes along. Then you can open shove the turn.

Hand 2 makes Baby Jeebus cry.

What were you thinking in hand #2? This is horrible

Ok guys I termed it dangerous because these games are REALLLLLY set-miney. Seeing flops four-way with AA in a big pot with generally nitty players isn't my favorite situation.
I also am out of position on both hands.

On Hand 1, button had QQ which kinda tilted me and caused me to play Hand 2 so terribly. This is basically why I felt bad enough to post it. Hand 2 was very soon after, and a very similar scenario, four people putting in a very large bet preflop while I hold AA. I think I steamed that so many people called the 16, and the flop was a set-miner's delight and I pussed out. For the record, bet and stack off on flop is the consensus approach here? Bet and fold to raise seems kinda dumb.

You need to play the best hand in poker with a little more authority.

Hand 1: I push preflop
Hand 2: SPRs are in the commitment range, but I dont feel good about stacking off here, but will.
