Flatting Preflop With AA vs laggy player

Normally flatting preflop with AA is just terrible, but against a raise from this player in late position would it be okay?

Over 30 hands

VP$P: 35 PFR: 20 AFq: 67 Fold to 3-bet: 70% C-bet percentage: 87%

This is in a tournament btw.

Dependant on stacks but against him looks fine.

3 bet more pre against lag. Big hands pre will be easier to play.

This. most lags are bad, just easier to get the money in.

Flatting AA preflop is totally fine in certain spots.

dunno, need stack sizes, should be fine since he folds a lot to 3bets.

Raise pre flop. Flat calling rewards his laggy play by allowing him to control thr pot size. You will be amazed by the nutty hands he can flop. When you slow play AA you are essentially commiting to a 7 card pot with a 2 card hand.

calling seems fine, whats his turn and river cbet?
inducing vs overly agg opponents is definitely fine,
on a side note he looks ideal to 3bet light.

Are those stats from the tournament or cash history? If it's from the tournament, is the sample size decent?

In a tournament...I can't say I feel too comfortable flatting an open with AA. When you flat, you are worried that you only get his 3BB open right? I don't think that's too awful. In exchange, based on his stats, you are basically hoping to get a cbet...but he is OP...perhaps his cbet stats are 100% IP and 50% OP...Not so sure you are getting a fair deal here.

Flatting with AA or KK in a tournament is generally to trap a player left to act when that player squeezes you and the opener PREFLOP...not to outplay a LAG on the flop. How do you outplay a LAG on the flop anyways? Doesn't his fold to 3bet % mean his range is super wide here....which means you're facing sets and virtually impossible to smell 2 pair hands...

As i look back thru the thread again GWU73 said this in a more condensed, but perhaps more cryptic way. I agree with the 7 card pot with 2 card hand. elegant.
