AA in the BB?

[BigHef]

Playing $100NL at Party, I'm in the Big Blind with $81. Call in MP, button calls, SB completes, it's up to me. MP has about $190, other two have $50.

Whats the way to go? I think about lurking the rockets, but then don't want to get busted if someone hits something on the flop that I can't see coming - like a two pair from the SB or something.

Anyway I raised to $10 and everyone folded. I hate the empty feeling when you win $6 with your AA!

Also, would you show everyone the hand or not?

Winning $6 is better than losing $81.

1. winning 6$ is better than losing 89$

2. never show a hand

A few thoughts for you. If you don't like the feeling of taking down small pots with AA, try doing the same thing on the BB with poor hands like 7-2off. That may serve as an emotional filler for you. Also, how do you feel when you make a raise like that and you get like 7 callers? Do you welcome the action at that point reminding yourself "I have the best hand right now" or do you start saying to yourself "why didn't I go all in so maybe just one person called?" You gotta take what you can get, and be happy with it in this game.
