Default Re: Any merit to calling big raise pre-flop w/ AA? 5-5 NLHE

I quite like the plan of calling now and setting him in on any flop. Here's why.

Everybody knows that everybody expects this guy to call if you push in. So pushing in is the move of a hand that does not want a fold. Calling and betting the flop looks much more like a vulnerable hand to me, so might get a call out of him where he would have folded preflop.

Calling and checking looks like a slowplay to my eyes. With JJ I might check it back and now you've given me four free cards to hit my set...

Guy.
