Default AA hand from the $ 22\'s

Party 22

Am I just losing all my chips here or is there a better way to play this?
Is it a reasonable line to raise more pre flop, and if so, is someone calling 4x bb with 99 Level 2 going to call 6bb etc.?
Do I back off after the cold call on the flop?
This type of scenario tends to rise up and hit me 2-3 times in a day...at least with the big PP's

dems the breaks, you played it fine. getting 99 to call 4,5,6x will be advantageous when the dust settles (but you already know that).

Don't think you can release this. You played it fine. Folding would be a huge mistake.

I'd pop it to 150-175 preflop with the 2 limpers. Flop &amp; turn are fine. Maybe make it 280 on flop as with your bet a flush draw is only making a small mistake to call as he knows you'll be too pot-stuck to muck if he hits on the turn.

I want people with 99 to call me when I have AA. That I sometimes bump into a set is something that I can live with. It is much more common that I take all their chips on a flop with no card higher than 8.

I love the way you played this hand, I don't like you asking if you can make 99 fold lol.
