Online $30 SnG
Just the fifth hand and so far pretty passive only one pot has been raised pre flop.
I'm one to the right of the CO when I'm dealt A /images/graemlins/spade.gifA /images/graemlins/club.gif one MP limper to me.Here is my quandry I don't want to just win the blinds with aces but I don't like slowplaying them either so I raise to T30.
CO folds Button calls SB folds BB calls MP calls.
Flop 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif4 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Checked to me I bet the pot folded to MP who calls
Trn J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Check I bet pot again MP folds.
I showed my aces partly to give them something to think about the next time I raised a little or alot.good move??
So I win a few chips but I am not sure what I should have done pre flop.
Your thoughts greatly appreciated.

Expunge this thought from your mind. Raise AA your standard amount. Whether or not you get callers will be based upon what they hold, not what you do. AA is *not* a guaranteed winner, even if you push it hard. You want good hands to call you, not crap.

Never complain when they push you the pot. You can't win the tournament on the 5th hand, but you sure can lose it.
