Default Aces down the drain???

2-4 6max NL Party. Hadn't seen a real hand in quite a while
when this came up. Villians were new to the table.

UTG (400) raises to 12
Button (250) hesitantly calls

I'm in the BB (650) and reraise to 36.
Both villians fold. If I were headsup I would have
flat called, but with two opponents I felt like
reraising would be my best play. Comments appreciated.

Bruce

Probably, but I guess my question is, should I offset my postional disadvantage and play a three handed pot with pocket Aces, by flat calling? If I were a world class player, which I certainly don't claim to be, would calling be a better play.

No, if for no other reason than b/c you're OOP.

IMO, raise more here OOP.

This is like the definition of standard....only way I would flat call is if there were 2 short stacks you could easily trap with a C/r on flop.

Especially against not one, but 2 unknowns, this play (what you did) is great.
