Default AA in limped pot

Playing 3/6 at UB, can't find the hand history. There's a 50/20 wacko OT who's been just bombing any limped pots, but calling people who raise in front of him, so I limp black AA with about 800 behind me. This sets off a chain of events with the next two people limping behind me, but instead of the button bombing it, he just calls. He probably was timing out and forgot to raise.

Anyway, the flop comes down 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

The SB (who had completed) leads out for pot. The BB calls. What's my action? What's my plan for the hand? SB has ~600, BB has me covered, I think the CO was short stacked and button was me covered.

IMO a fold is perfectly fine here since you could be drawing dead / are not far ahead if you indeed have the best hand. Plus, there is really no way you're winning a big pot here. If you're going to play the hand however I think a raise is certainly best. It will define the hands of anybody yet to act. Any reraise we should instamuck. I hate the spot altogether though and like a fold on the flop as played.

curse your luck and ditch it... if your ahead, it's not by much, and you have a horrid reverse implied odds situation.

The SB just lead into 5 people. If you're ahead, he has a lot of outs against you with two streets to come with either a flush/straight draw or any number of combo draws. If you're behind, you're drawing very slim. Pot is small so just muck it watch the fireworks.

Everyone has said it -

Fold.

In 5 months you can look at PT and see a hand where you lost only $6 with AA and wonder how that happened - it happened this way.
