AA preflop against limpers and then a raise

[Erik W]

PP 10/20

I wonder if I should take the limpers money and reraise or limp and have the limpers pay another bet instead of them folding.

Flop
4 limpers, Button Raises
Hero on SB with AA
Either reraise or call and keep the limpers and risk getting
outdrawn later on.

I limped but I question the decision.

What would you do?

Is there any amount of limpers you'd prefer calling with or is it a plain bad idea?

thx guys

No. I prefer them go out or pay huge for their draws.

to answer that question exactly correctly you would need to know how many people who would call one, would also call two. I always raise here, and expect/hope for 2-3 of the 4 limpers to call 2 additional.

Easy re-raise, if they stay in they pay huge, if they go out you pick up a bet from each of them with no chance for them to beat you. Whatever they choose to do should be fine with you.

Slowplaying any hand before the flop is almost always wrong in pots with this many people. Your hand isn't strong enough to happily let say another 4 people in.

Also it is very probable that about 2 of the 4 limpers will call (certain players will almost never fold to another 2 bets after they have limped for example) the reraise, which would result in a pot with 1 extra sb in it (bigger = better with a strong hand) but 2 players less contesting it, which is great.

As I said, your hand is very very vulnerable with multiple opponents. Get them out if you can. Don't slowplay in multiway pots before the flop.

I think you re-raise and it is not particularly close.

This is an obvious re-raise and you should not be playing 10/20 if you don't know this. In addition, it is probably at least a 33% chance that it comes back to you capped after you 3-bet. This is called building a pot......

Care to elaborate on this? What hand has more equity against 1, 2 or 9 opponents?

This is my last post in this thread, and I'm mostly just apoligizing for posting at all. The idea of not re-raising here is horrific beyond belief, and this whole thread should be moved to the beginner's forum.

You took the words right out of my head. I read Mid/High to gain insight into some of the more subtle and complex plays and thought processes from more experienced and accomplished players.

And when I read someone advocating 3-betting preflop with aces to thin the field because it doesn't play well multiway, I kind of get this incredulous feeling like I've been asleep for 10 years and probability and equity concepts were changed during that time.

I guess a better reply to that post would have been, HUH?
