Party 22, AA 1st hand, anyone fold this?

[1C5]

Obviously no reads.
Results left in on purpose as this has happened to me a few times lately. But many other times I will be ahead. No one here folds this do they?

Poll makes no sense but I hope you get the question. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

With 3 limps ahead of you, you should have bumped to about 150 pre-flop.

I don't understand...What are you afraid of here?

[ghostface]

There isnt an option for raise more preflop.

I raise to 115 minimum

Isn't that just about the best flop you could possibly hope for? I guess you lost to a flush? OK, just checked and saw the set of 6's...

I think the preflop raise to 75 was fine - the goal here is to be up against 1 and with three 15 chip limpers 75 will usually do this - any more and you'll end up taking the pot there and you don't want that with AA.

UTG+1 should have folded after the raise with 6's. No way any of them had KK or JJ. You had to play it like this.

push isn't an option here, note that you are calling all in. I would call. I would also raise more preflop and sometimes push.

At the 22s, a raise to 75 with three limpers almost guaruntees a multiway pot. As others have said, you have to raise more here if you wan to get it heads up.

As for the flop, I don't see how you can even think about folding. People will reraise all-in here with crap like KT or even QT.

it looks like you're beginning to doubt yourself if you have to ask this question

That hasn't been my experience at all in level 1 of a $22... A 3x raise then yeah, at least 2 of the 3 call but a 5x raise either takes the pot or has 1 caller the huge majority of the time. Once in a while you get 2 and very infrequently 3.

You are hoping for 1 but I'd rather be up against 2 with AA than 0 when there is 70 in the pot.

If there had been a min raise and then 2 callers then this is completely different and I would raise it 120 to 150 but that wasn't the case here.

Anyways, different playing styles I guess. Betting more is the safer play but betting less is much more +chip ev in my opinion.
