Experience with AA (or similar) on Button

Had a frustrating run of cards last night. It seemed like all of my good pf hands were in late position, but the table folded around to me & the blinds. Raising sets up 2 more folds, limping risks a high variance suck-out playing the blinds. I'm curoius what others do in this situation.

Steal more with crap hands so you'll get paid when you catch monsters?

With a good hand (especially a great hand like AA or KK) on the button when everybody has folded you should Always make a standard raise imo. People will not have a clue that your hand is so good because they can take it for a standard steal attempt. Think limping look more suspicius.

That is also my opinion, but wasn't sure if it is the best +EV play.

True, when it's folded to you on the button or co you should be raising alot and rarely just limping anyway, so when you have a big hand you should play it the same as you play all the hands you steal with so they just think it's another standard steal.

also try to keep your pf raises consistent as to disguise strength.

i'm that's what you guys mean by 'standard raises' but i just wanted to spell it out

More than you'd think.. besides, stealing on the button when it's folded to you makes money even if they aren't paying attention
