Re: Harrington this AA hand ITM? I\'m confused. Is stack big enough?

If you smooth call you have to be able to get away if you think you are beaten.

That's awful.
With 11 blinds there is no way hero should ever get away from this hand, even on a "scary" flop. Folding at any stage is at best weak tight. If you get beat heads up with AA so be it. There's no way hero can fold on the flop, with aces, after calling off ~20% of his stack. The question is really about what's the best way to get villian to get all his money in.
Definatly don't min raise, as that screams AA/KK. Also it's pretty much useless, you might as well go all in. The question here is really do you think anyone else will call if you call. If you think more than one person will call, you should push to isolate (you don't want to see the flop w/ 3 other people). If the table has been playing tight enough that you think it'll just be you and him, then call as this has a ton of deception value and is likely to get him to call an all in from you at some point.
Also, a min raise like that yells high pair to me, very likely KK. He's screaming for action.
