Do you gamble here?

no it was in reference to OP, although openpushing is not nearly the best line here.

Do you open-push every time you get AA dealt to you?

[bluefeet]

the 'gamble' you took was PF

you didn't open-push because you wanted action.
you raised 1/3 your stack (4x) to get said 'action'.
you correctly reasoned, that with 2 callers behind you, this flop may not be favorable.

you need to be cognisant of you FULL intentions post flop, when making your PF move (in regards to your raise):

a) "all my chips are going in - period. i just want more chips in the pot first"
b) "i'm going to raise here, hopefully taking down a nice pot on the flop"

[side note: i'm not advocating [A] at all]

comparing A & B to your PF raise size, you can see how niether really fits. regardless if it's your intent to "go broke or double/triple up" or "see a flop...get out alive if it doesn't work out", the 1/3-your-stack-4x isn't accomplishing either for you.

if you're not going to open-push, a raise of t125-150 fits both of your post flop options. you'll get some 'action', and it leaves you an exit with some chips intact.

for the record, i'd just open-push. a standard raise + an increase in blinds, leaves you only 5BB. furthermore, with the likelyhood of being out of position against one or more of your callers, your post-flop options are slim to none (check/fold....push) on an unfavorable flop like this.

Can you flop an A holding AA and be in trouble?

I'm pretty sure that is the difference he is talking about.

What's he trying to get at, don't open push QQ because of possible risks?
