Live - 80 BB deep - Playing AA from BB vs One Caller

[ToughE]

Need some help on this one!

The thing that makes this tough here is
1. My stack size
2. Being out of position
3. Little information on my opponent

5-10 NLH game

I buyin for 80BB ($800). Villain has me covered ($2000).

Very first hand I am dealt:

Limped pot with 6 players, I asked God to not give me any playable hands for the first 45 minutes so I can get a pulse and feel for the table. He didn’t answer my prayers as I looked down at 2 black Aces from the BB. Watching from the rails for 15 minutes it appeared to be a loose table with questionable calls preflop.

I made it $75 to go and got one caller from late position. Did not get much read from villain preflop. He called quickly and did not consider re-raising so not likely that he held a premium pair or AK, AQ. I felt his likely range at this point were broadway cards or suited/unsuited connecters. What little I did know from him while watching on the rail, I noticed (1) He was loose and played almost all hands (2) He raised with most cards that would seem playable (including most pocket pairs), particularly from late position and (3). If he got much resistance he folded and believed he was beat.

So I went to the flop with his likely range of broadway cards or suited/unsuited connectors.

Flop is 8 10 4 (2 diamonds) (pot is approx $200).

I’m first to act. At this point, I re-contemplate his potential range. I felt like J10s, A10s, 89s or 8-10s were his most possible range. Of pocket pairs on this flop, 44 was possible, but I felt not likely as I believed he would have bumped it up 2x or 3x the blind in late position as a “pot sweetener”. (As the big stack, he was not getting any resistance with re-raises from other players).

I decided to make a smallish probing bet approximately ½ of the pot ($90). Given his range of hands and his apparent LAG image, I thought it might induce a raise from him with a worse hand, and if he did have a better hand and raised, I would be able to make the right read to fold without risking much.

He did a little double take and asked me how much I had behind and made it $125 more to go.

Pot is now approximately $415 – I have $525 behind. 3 questions.

1. Was my preflop raise with AA out of position enough on a seemingly loose table with effective stacks equal or above mine? (6 limpers, 7.5 X BB)

2. Given the range of hands I put him on, what is the best action for me on the flop:
a. Check
b. Bet - If so what amount into a $200 pot with me holding approx $600 behind

3. What is my action after he raises $125 more given the read on his range (pot is $415 with $600 behind)?
- Fold
- Call
- Reraise – if so how much?

Thanks much!

P.S. Just started posting so sorry for this ignorant question but where can get the hands graphics to post like everyone else does! Just want to make it more readable for fellow 2+2 ers. Thanks.

Thanks for responses.

As an active reader of this board (and much less active poster), I greatly value the opinions of players here.

Can someone tell me why is this an automatic shove? Is there anyway to play differently and not be a shove?

Would appreciate more detail.

Grim. I always respected your posts - I don't understand "tl;dr"?

No - I'm not KKF (lol)

Cardsharka. Yes I have played live NLH before. In fact, for a long time – well before poker was popular. I am a winning player, but, as I said, I felt this hand was worth getting 2nd opinions on given the situation (stack size, board texture, lack of info, etc)

Thanks!
