Re: NL50 Too eager with AA?

I don't think this is enough to make you look like a maniac.
I think this is read dependent. Is he making a move on you? Is he check-minraising with a monster? Maybe he puts you on QQ and he has AK? In the absence of reads (which happens a lot online), I play carefully with stacks this big. I think a skilled player can get away from this hand or lose the minimum if villain has a set. This looks like a WA/WB situation (as someone pointed out). You're giving huge implied odds by moving in on this flop. If he's way behind it's an easy fold for him. If he's way ahead, he calls quickly and stacks you. I think arguments can be made to check behind on this drawless flop, control the pot, and play some poker (you have position). Even if he has AK or QQ, it's not likely that he's going to improve to a better hand than yours.
