After folding 5-6 hands or so I get the beautiful aces and raise PF to 75 after two limpers. I get a total of three callers and the flop is semi-ugly.

Hero?


Do I lay down my aces here with only 75 chips invested so far? Was my preflop raise too small?

Looks to me like you are behind. Good fold. Here, I would raise somewhere around 115 chips pre-flop.

With 2 limpers you need to raise more preflop here. My standard raise would be about 100 in this situation. Since this is an $11 table, I'd go ahead and raise up to 125-150. You will usually get callers.

Post flop is a tough situation. I think I'd have to grit my teeth and push all-in but I'm not sure about this. If I pushed, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody flipped over a 10.
