NL50 How should I play AA?

[voxx]

I've just sat at the table and it's my second hand, I've not played with any of the players before so I have no read.

I'm new to NL50 having just moved up and I wondered what other peoples thoughts are about how this hand should be played. I've reviewed it myself and have my own views which I'll post later.

looks like you played it ok to me, assuming that you didn't fold.

hrm. you don't really need a poll for that. its a 3bet pot and its 30 something into like 110+. yeah, you're gonna bump into sets, but you're clearly going to beat enough overpairs and random other things to make it worth it. not even close.

initial thought: he can have a lot of hands you beat like overpairs, A7.

second thought: he is raising in a multiway reraised pot where the pfr potted the flop and another guy called. scary stuff. but the pot is humungous with half your stack already in.

What worried me was the Button calling a raise then a reraise PF which suggests a Pocket Pair. The push by him after my flop bet made me think even more that he had made trips but as it's been pointed out there was so much in the pot I felt I had to call.

For some reason I had a strong feeling the BB had either AK or KK so I wasn't worried about him coming along.

don't pot the flop...

How much do you recommend betting after the flop?

[derosnec]

doesn't matter whether you pot or not. you're getting all in here or on the turn on this board (doubt turn will change anything).
