Preflop All-in question
 

UB, NL. I didn’t grab the hand history after I busted so I can’t be precise, except I’m positive the BB was 60.

I have one of the larger stacks (> t1500) but am not the chip leader.

I pick up AA in EP and raise to ~ t200. MP (the chip leader, ~ t2300) calls and LP (short stack, ~ t450) raises all-in.

I re-raised all-in, the chip leader called and busted both me and the short stack.

My question is about whether this is an auto all-in when the chip leader has already called a pre-flop raise. I mean, EP (chip leader) liked his hand well enough to call my first raise. Do I want to put my stack on the line against him AND the short stack?

I hope this question is not just being results oriented because I got busted. At the time, I did wonder if my all-in was correct for the circumstances and am still not sure.

Any comments would be appreciated.

All in from me every time. With AA I've got no problem with others liking their hand... against AK and KK you're a
huge favourite.

if i think i can get called, you bet your ass i'm going all in preflop with AA, under any circumstance that i can think of. i want to get as many chips in preflop as possible, and your move certainly did that. i would push and hope that the chip leader did indeed call, everytime.
