First hand of a Party 20+2, 5 limpers to me in the small blind, I find AA and make it 100, 1 caller.

Flop QT3 with 2 hearts, I don't have the Ace of hearts. I push.


Thoughts?

Don't see the point in pushing. Bet 2/3rds the flop, call a push, or whatever, but no need to open push.

Yeah I hate slow playing but I think I would bet 2x the pot around 300, instead of pushing. At that level if the villian has the A flush draw he will probably push in on you and you can call.

You were a little premature with your push. Bet pot (or 1.5X), call any and all pushes.

You shouldn't ever (or almost ever) fold AA postflop unless it's very obvious you're beat by the action (2 all-ins before you on the flop), or the board is very coordinated and more than 3 people exist. Even in these circumstances, I'm not sure folding AA in a 20+2 is ever right. Also remember, if one of them has a wacky 2 pair, you have a bunch of outs to counterfeit their asses.
