Default Re: AA and AK

You gotta be pretty sure that both players are drawing dead, so you gotta read them both for something like Ax or Kx. Even if one of them has a pocket pair, from which it looks like the SB did by the way he played his hand, I don't think slowplaying AA in middle position here is worth it.

As for the meta-game, I'd save that more for HU play, as opposed to a 3 way pot where playing your AA the straightforward way is probably better than getting fancy. Unless of course you feel you can extract an extra bet here or there that you wouldn't playing straightforward, but I don't see how.
