2/5NL - I want more money next time.

[People_Mover]

Live action 2/5NL 300 max buy in.

Standard raise has been to 12.00 -15.00. Usually some limpers 3-4 to the flop. MP1 just doubled with AA vs. KK. LAG just doubled when raised 15 preflop with JQc, was reraised to 60, called, flopped straight flush and busted AA.

I'm in the BB with $255.00.

MP1(540.00) (lady who plays tight and only bets when she has it) limps
CO limps(600.00) (LAG) this could mean Ax, any 2 paint, or pkt pair.
Button (sunglasses, chip dancer, pretty tight player) makes it 18.00. Probably pkt pair 9s and up, AK, AQ, AJs

I'm in the BB with $255.00 and look down at AA.

Call or raise to what??

You have to raise here. The reason is that the other two players will most likely call the original raise, given that the raise was average. You dont want to be playing aces oop against 3 people. I'd pop it atleast another 30 (maybe more if you think LAG is looking to play) in order to isolate with button.

This is not the spot you want to be smoothcalling AA. You have to raise this, especially after a LAG limps in and you're OOP with multiple opponents. I would make it $60 even if not more.

Just do what you can to get all the money in PF. Unless your very sure/positive that LAG or woman will re-raise PF, I almost always raise in this spot. I make it $55-$60.

i like to raise it up to $80 or $90 in spots like these making it look like 1010 JJ trying to isolate. if you raise it up and they fold, c'est la vie. you have to raise in this spot.

if you get some donkey's who become attached to their cards, some will shove the stack in the middle on the flop after a smooth call preflop.

I made it $50.00 straight and it folded back to the Villian who flashed his AQ and folded. I folded my AA face up and he said nice raise.
