About twice a night I'll get busted by someone who just flat calls AA pf or slowplays them in a similar fashion. It's been bustin my balls. This can't be correct to do in a multiway pot, but what about heads up? They seem to gain much more value from not reraising. BTW I'm talking about 10/20.

The King Yao book strongly advocates limp reraising with AA. I personally prefer full steam ahead with that hand. Slow playing it can only work well heads up and when you've got a good enough read to be certain you'll get bet at. I believe slow playing doesn't have as much of a place in limit as it does in NL.

Thanks, and if what's happening in that video is what I thinks happening, it's the funniest video I've ever seen.

Are you playing multiway or HU? Whichever it is, your comment seems to support the idea that these opponents are doing something right in that game.

I think you might have been my opponent in this hand. I really don't see how I could have NOT slowplayed this. I mean I friggin flopped quad aces.

Boy, SB really fell into that one. What did he have, JJ or something? A turned flush he decided to slowplay until the river? A slowplayed 77/33?

I suppose it's also possible he was just trying really hard to represent trip aces or a flush and just had, say, 88, or a busted draw with 54.

Don't think that was me although I did get beat by quad aces a couple minutes ago. Usually it's just a matter of someone not 3-betting/capping it pf,

I don't know the 10/20 at all, but I think at 3/6 and below (the games I'm familiar with) it's generally not a good idea to slowplay aces preflop (though I do limp-reraise with them on rare occasion).

That said, I think there are occasions where players limp with aces and it costs both them and me money. That is, it can be a bad play based on the way the table is playing overall but a good play specifically against me.

For instance, if I happen to have KQo on the Button, I would prefer for MP1 to open-raise his aces instead of open-limping, because if he open-raises, I'll fold, whereas if he limps, I'll raise for him and fall into his trap.
