Paradise .05/.1 $10 NL

I have about $7.50 in front of me and I'm in MP. I get dealt two black aces with two limpers in front of me. I raise it up to $2 hoping to take the money on the table. I'm beginning to think I should have made it $5 because I get the bad feeling the BB with $22 will call. Sure enough he calls. One of the EP limpers with $6.50 also calls making the pot $6.15 pre-flop.

Flop: QsTsTc BB checks, EP moves all-in for his remaining $4.50. What should I do?

Results to follow.

most players will slowplay three tens here - escepecially an EP.

Expect to see lower pocket pairs and KQ a lot more often than three tens.

No chance he has QQ?

Why on earth you would be hoping to take the $$ on the table, and have a bad feeling about getting called before the flop, when you hold AA is beyond me. Get rid of this mode of thinking.

If you think they would call more than $2 then maybe you should have made it $5.

I'd call the flop.

I agree. It would be the stupider-est playing of QQ of all times, and there are a lot of idiots trying for this award. Limp, then just call a raise, then push all in when you flop a full house? No. Trip tens would be slowplayed. Therefore he has QJ or KQ or something like that.
