I usually obviously usually re-raise with AA, but UTG doesn't have many chips, and I'm hoping that I can win more. Big stack (SB) has played every hand so far, meaning he's a luckbox donkey, so I expect a call from him. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Will

P.S. I know that the move here is a matter of preference/reads/etc, but I'm usually an MTTer, so I don't know if there's a good rule of thumb for this in STTs (especially PP STTs given the large blind:chip ratio).

Doesn't matter. I definately at the very least min-raise this.

I honestly really don't mind just calling the raise here. UTG's stack is small and getting him all-in will be easy but probably nicer to take a shot to trap BB given your read on him, and hey, someone else can pick up a decent hand and push over top of the raise/call in front of him.

I'd raise this to 150.

Eeeew guys, small raises do nothing but get the minimum out of UTG and advertise your hand to the rest of the table. Raising it up to 275 area is about the minimum I'd raise normally.
