Default Re: AA hand

I think this is playing scared to be afraid to standard raise with AA UTG. Sometimes you will get reraised or win a nice pot postflop. Sometimes you will lose a big pot to a set or something. I think you are too afraid to risk losing a big pot.

Whether to raise or limp depends a lot on the stack sizes and how the table is playing.

I don't like making a big overbet raise that will get called/raised only by big hands, but is likely to take the blinds. I also don't like a miniraise or other real small raise that is going to be called by atleast the BB and my be reraised. However, you invite multiple callers, and it may clue people in that you have a big pair more than a standard raise or limp will.

I limp would have worked better in this case, but I really made my mistake on the flop.
