AA hand

I don't like to just call with AA but is this a situation where it sometimes (not always) can be right to only call?

Button is tight...

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Hero ?

Raises....

Do you open limp in CO with any other hands? Raise to make it look like a steal and hope someone plays back at you.

I'de rather steal the blinds and win a small pot than lose a decent sized pot to 53o in the BB.

I would raise half my AA from this position, and limp with half of my AA. Winning the blinds only is giving up a lot of EV with AA. If you believe Pokertracker data, the value of AA is upwards of 3.0 BBs.

One of the mistakes poor players consistently make is defending their blinds too often. I would not expect to win the blinds very frequently with a raise here.

You need to raise here so that when you have Q8o next time you will win the blinds uncontested.
