Preflop choice on AA

[Philuva]

If the SB is going to call 3, he is probably going to call 4. So that is 6 additional players in the hand. That is 3 additional big bets you earn by capping preflop. I would take the extra bets now.

You will still be able to get a good read on the flop, depending on if someone bets into your cap on the flop, CR's your cap on the flop, etc.

Take the extra bets now in the best position. It can be hard to make up 3 extra big bets in your post flop play.
