Too much heat for AA?

[Russ McGinley]

Work the hand backwards. MP1 open-limped, which means he has two cards. He then came in after a raise and a 3-bet preflop, then he check-called a flop bet/raise then called a reraise/cap. Now he check-raises a seemingly harmless card after ALL THIS ACTION behind him, and add to that, the other player comes over the top of HIM. I think calling down here is a HUGE leak, as I can't even ensure that I only have to pay 2 BB's to see the hands.
