Default pocket aces - play it differently?

Live 8-16 game

EP is generally sane, but plays too many hands and goes too far with them, and he can be aggressive at times. MP is the same as EP, but is less agressive and is a bit more likely to fold obvious losers on later streets. BB is an idiot - preflop he is a total maniac (he LRR me with 79o earlier) and on later streets he is just overagressive. Sometimes he will slow down if he is played back at, but he will call down with as little as bottom pair. All relevant players are the type of player that is only slightly less likely to call 2 cold as he is to call 1.

Sorry if this is a boring hand, but I felt a little lost. Mostly, it was adjusting to BB's craziness and the way it was affecting the rest of the table (he was playing about 80% of his hands and raising probably 70% of them) and I want to know if my thought process is sound (I'll post my thoughts later, providing this thread doesn't slide off into the abyss of page 10).

Default Re: pocket aces - play it differently?

I don't mind how you played it at all. The big streets are interesting as the uber donk could have anything or nothing. so if it was HU with him then raising would be in order, but with the EP player in and that bosrd you do have to be kinda careful, but if your ahead, your way ahead and you might as well let them bet for you
