Default Re: The Worst Play of Aces ever??

As others have noted, the whole point of open limping AA preflop is to get it all in before the flop. When it is raised, re-raise.

I also wouldn't try this on the button. I'd raise to 150 and expect a call (or better yet, a re-raise) of my "obvious steal" quite a lot of the time. Will he fold complete crap? Probably. But crap isn't going to give you any action anyway unless it flops better than 1 pair, in which case, you are probably going to lose all your chips because evidently you can't lay down AA on a board with straight and flush possibilities on it, much less a raggy board that just happened to give 2 pair to 6To.

Moving on to the flop, there's a draw-licious board and you make a small bet. On the turn, a ton conceivable draws are completed and you bet and get pushed on. Not fun to fold AA, but unless the player is a nut-job you are hosed to a straight or flush here.
