I think SBs range could be quite strong here. Id raise to 30 and build the pot.

Id still prefer headsup but if utg has anything half decent he will join anyway. If hes bad enough to limp utg hes bad enough to call 30c :)

the biggest factor is position... we wont have position on him so it will be much harder to get paid.. prolly make more mistakes pre against us rather than postflop.

and lets say we call 10 and go 3way

flop gors JT9 now we are in a mess or any high wet connected board.

At these stakes I think it's just bet to 3-bet and bet / raise for value. People overplay a ton of stuff at these stakes, and you need to take advantage of that by just raise and re-raising w/ the top of your range. If you were in position and not sandwiched position, maybe you could make a case for flatting, but I still probably wouldn't.

In this spot for me I would still 3-bet pre-flop. I'm not too concerned about MP coming along, however if SB has enough to raise you, he might feel you are just defending your BB in this position which leaves him extremely vulnerable to your aces. If he has AJ+, 88+ I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ended up 4 betting in this situation.

Speculating further along these lines, I think a 4 bet in your spot should just be called, thereby indicating you have a hand like AK. This obviously will lead to him shoving on the flop after you check it.

I would definitelty raise here, you don't want them to be able to play cheap against AA. You probably don't get much action from the others if they don't flop two pairs, sets or flush draws etc. Too risky in my opinion

I think you raise here. Only problem is when they both fold which is probably gonna happen... lots of limp fish will just fold after that much action... but they will def call if you cold call the sb raise...

You will have position on sb and if he's a decent player at all he was just raising to isolate utg fish. If you feel your edge is better than both players, and you play well post flop.. calling may make you more money in the long run...

If fish never folds pre flop... a raise is warranted. It's never a big mistake to raise AA... So if you raised don't feel bad to pick up a small pot, if you called and played a multi-way pot... just don't go broke in the hand...

Raise to 0.30, that it, if you lucky opponents call with worse pairs, or some Ax stuff, than just bet/bet/shove vor value.

my friend! Definitely here 3 bet! hand of AA is good! But we should not slow-play! Otherwise, you give a good chance for multiway!
