AA huge pot. anyone play this differently?

[Rev. Good Will]

I think enough $ is in on the flop, raise it then, SB would def call down at the least for the rest of the hand

Note that the "Two Overpairs" hand example is carefully constructed so that it is impossible to protect your hand. That's not the case here; it is reasonable to think that if Hero just calls the flop, he may get the opportunity to protect his hand on the turn.

You're right that this is kind of like the Two Overpairs example in that Hero has a huge pot equity edge that likely isn't going to rise much on the turn. Yeah, waiting for the turn would make more sense with a weaker overpair like TT.

I vacillate between raising or calling the flop. Since the board isn't scary, leaving people in for extra money looks like a good play. Based on your read, I like the way you played the hand.

A flop raise actually offers 1:10 to the first coldcaller.

I think this hand is a fine time to wait for the turn to protect - if you were more vulnerable than you are. A gutshot on this board seems very unlikely, you can raise the flop for value.

So then, you're saying it would be more appropriate to wait to raise the turn with a hand like TT, ala the Two Overpair Hands situation in SSH?

I remember the example only vaguely. But if I recall it correctly, then I would say this is a near-match situation to the book example with the AA. Protect with tens. With aces, you fear less.
