3/6 AA Deep stack preflop Question

[crosse91]

ok, normally i just push here, but villian and hero are so deep stacked that i'm curious to the right play here-is it a push? or a reraise to about 350?
or is this a dumb question and flawless will answer with: Push. Dumb Question.

Pushing isn't a bad idea b/c a raise of 350 or so is saying hey everyone I have a top notch hand so if they call they will only play with you if they can crack aces on the flop. If you push all in it is a possibility that someone might call you with KK.
On the other hand raising to 350 isn't a bad idea, but you will almost certainly be called by the CO looking to bust your AA.

My favorite play, however, is to raise around 500-600 because now they probably will only call with KK or QQ maybe. They will probably fold though, but you take it down nicely.

Playing AA in this situation is all about how willing you are to gamble on what the flop is going to be. The flop could murder you, and you could lose your entire stack.

Re-raise to $350-$400 and he can't call you profitably.

Be ready to get it in on any flop if he calls.

If you push, he probably drops everything except the other AA, and KK. If you make the smaller raise, he may make a mistake and try to outflop you with worse.

If he has KK, and won't fold it to that raise, you're getting all his money, anyway.

If bankroll is an issue for you at all, just push.

or you could dumb it all the way down and bet 1/2 your money and put the rest in on the flop

Dont push here, IMO. If CO has a big pair, give him a chance to re-raise you. I think a push screams AA. Of course you have to get the riff-raff out of the hand, but I'd raise to $350, and auto-push the flop.

You're too deep to push unless he's a total turkey.

Yeah me too. C/R all in on any flop with cards lower than jack.

Even with all of the callers between hero and re-raiser?

Seems like trouble, to me.

The raise might be just enough that you don't have to worry about them tagging along profitably... but it seems real close.
