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

I think you played it fine. I hate raising to 100+ preflop here. Unlike many here I don't assume all players at the 22s are total retards. You could raise up to 90 though, but I'm fine with 75.

I don't get why you think a somewhat larger raise is overkill. My usual raise preflop is 3-4xBB + limpers. Here 4xBB would be 60 + 3 limpers for 15 each is 45 for a total of 105. With this many limpers + people to act after you including the blinds, I think you're going to get at least 1 call. Especially at the 22's.

Simply because those that are in the hand don't think in those terms. They think "ooh, I have to call another 90, better fold my AQ".

I agree many will think that way, but with so many limpers, blinds, etc. I also think one or more will think, "Ugh, raise to 90, well I can't fold my AQ."

Which brings us back to sqare one. I assume my opponents at the 22s make better decisions than most of the posters here think and (this is more important)they make more mistakes postflop than preflop.
