Default slowplay with aces x2

so I got AA twice last night and slowplayed twice. I probably slowplay aces 1/100 times, btw - just felt right here.

I think hand 1 is fine.

Hand 2 I 3-bet the flop with 2 players in. Either BB or UTG will cap his KK or QQ and you get to raise the turn.

As played I wouldnt give more action after the turn raise.

Default Re: slowplay with aces x2

I really don't know what to say because I play more straightforward than this in both cases. In hand 2 I think that I don't see what you're afraid of other than a set of J's unless you've got some sort of maniac read on one of the villains. I think If I'm just called on the turn I'm firing again on a non pair, non heart, non broadway card (Aces not included of course). I think that if UTG reraises turn I slow down but a flop cap could also be overpair or even AJ.

Default Re: slowplay with aces x2

the only situation where I slowplay aces preflop is when my late position raise is 3bet by a blind. I do this often vs aggressive players.

hand 1 looks fine, hand 2 is weird yo. I would just jam the flop, but what is your reasoning for the cold call?
