Re: Playing AA in big multi-player pots
Opening UTG with a limp or a small raise with AA in not a bad move at an aggressive table, with the thought of going all-in on anyone that re-raises. Actually, limping is probably better than a 2x bet. I would say, either limp, or raise it 4-5x the bb early on, 3x as the blinds increase.
Of course, if you limp, and no one raises you, and a lot of callers see the flop, be prepared to fold. If you cant fold, then open with a raise everytime.
As this turned out, you were a big favorite with awesome odds, you just got unlucky. Don't worry about the result of one hand. With weak tables in the cheap games, it is hard getting people to fold, but when your hand holds up, you will be rewarded handsomely.
