Okay here`s the situation taken straight from Harrah`s in AC the other night. I`m at a 1/2NL FR with a full $300 stack. Table is very competetive with only one weak player, two seats to my left and one absent player with a big stack ($600) directly to my left. I`ve taken a few pots and have a solid table image. I`m up around $60 when the absent player returns and immediately raises every single pot pre-flop for almost two turns. His raises are in the 4x to 6x range, mostly 4x, with much success. Everyone tightens up with maybe one player playing back with occasional showdown. Which leads me to this hand... I`m in the BB and get pocket Aces. Guy on my left (first to act) does his usual raise to $8 and 4 more people call him including the weak guy directly to his left, a mid position, the button and the SB. Action is to me.......there`s already $42 in the pot. what is the correct raise amount for pocket Aces in this situation?? Everyone in the hand has a very good stack with the exception of the mid position guy who is around $100.
