$22: AA UTG in Level 1 with 5 callers.

[spentrent]

Blinds 10/15, stacks all even-ish around 800
Hero raises to 75. 5 callers, including the blinds.

Flop comes 3 rags, two-tone, with a possible OESD if someone's got a five. Checked to Hero, who has about 650 left. Pot's 450.

Hold nose and push?

I've been raising preflop to 100-115 for the last month but I don't feel like I've gotten called enough to have made it worth it. Please no "see, ya shoulda made it 100" comments.

Easy push I think, given the number of players still in and a possible flush draw out. Oh, and I definitely don't like raising preflop to any more than 75. You're lucky to have gotten so many callers with that big of a raise.

You should of made it 99, not 100...sheesh...You dont want to advertise you have aces.
But seriously this is an interesting one. The last two callers would of called with low pockets that might of hit the board. A bet of ~150 would sound right if there werent so many people in the pot. With the pot as large as it is I dont see any way of giving chasers bad odds without pushing, because if you do get a caller with kk, qq, ect.. the chasers are continually getting better odds...just hope you dont see those trips...

pushign good, betting ~1/2 or 2/3 pot is good too. you're clearly not folding this hand.

Why would you bet less if you are not folding this hand?

Click the "bet pot" button... It pisses people off just enough to make them spite call off all of their chips with TP or 88-1010 or something.

some idiot might find the fold button when i don't want him to if i bet too much.

in some games, it is correct to bet sort of arbitrarilly small amounts if you think it will make someone think you are bluffing and come over the top.
