Its 6:00am Saturday morning, you have been shifting through broken tables for the past few hours. There has been 2 cycles of the button with 7-8 players seeing every flop for one bet. You image is tight, you are the only player folding regularly preflop, but with some of the table drunk and only one serious player still there perhaps this is irrelevant.

Hero is UTG+1 and dealt AA

Do you raise to thin the field?

Call with the intention of re-raising?

I opted for the second and was lucky enough to have SB raise, so I followed through with the plan and re-raise facing most of the field with calling 2 cold. This was called by the whole table creating a huge pot.

What are the forums thoughts here?

Of course I was overtaken at the turn with 8 opponents in, but really thats neither here not there.
