AA in big blind

[ QUOTE ]
I believe the proper play in this position is moving all-in before the flop. This does two thingsne it puts your opponent to a major decision for a lot of money and two it takes away any chance of someone having 8,9 or even a smaller pair. Get your money in the pot when you have the best of it. This is a perfect position to either steal a few bets or end up heads up for big money with the odds in your favor. Never just give people free cards unless there's a reason for it.

You "put someone to a decision" because you would like them to fold. If you were to make the ridiculous move of raising all in here it would be because you wanted your opponent and the other 8 players at the table to call you.

The only hands that are going to call have you beat, maybe except A/K... but no one else raised preflop so it's unlikely that you're up against that. You were both weak and tight and he outplayed you. He pushes you on the flop, you push him back. He pushes a third time over top of you and you have to run, but when a weak tight pushes back the worst LAG's lay down hands.
Just my opinion.
