No reason to do something really weird like open jamming for 109BB effective, just because you have AA. Make your standard open raise and go from there. If someone 3-bets, then obviously pretty much always putting in a 4-bet.

Raise to 260

 

[samircyber9]

probably a raise would be good in this situation

Standard open. no point in jamming whatsoever.
You want to get value not make everyone fold.

There is no need to jam here. Just a standard open raise und if someone 3-bets, make a good 4-bet.

If you were playing a 5000 player freeroll with all ins every hand, then yeah just get it in.

But the $4.40 at stars, I can't see many situations where you're gonna get paid off there! Much better to raise and hope you get 3 bet!

In first moment i thougt that you have ~20 bb ^^

It's hard for to me find the reason why you did it. I know that it's hard to play with 100bb+ when you dont feel well with game after floop. Try practice it in micro cash or sit&go. It helps. Because in MTT's every mistake can be the last one ^^

Ok so you did actually open jam, and someone called you with KK. But 99% of the time people will also 3-bet with KK, and then you can put in a 4-bet, which they then either call or put in a 5-bet, which is then usually a jam. So when someone has KK, you get the chips in anyway, and your line won you nothing extra. But by taking this line you allowed them to fold basically everything else. Even if the opponent had AK or JJ-QQ, is he really going to call this massive jam? Maybe in a freeroll but probably not in a 4,4$ MTT, as others have already said. So this line is missing out on a ton of value, because unless someone has exactly KK, or is really bad, you are just picking up the blinds and antes, and you can do way better than that with AA.

There are no shortstacks behind you and the blinds are EXTREMELY LOW.
IMPLIED odds are your opponents best possible mistake to happen here
and YOUR MOST PROBABLE MISTAKE BY LETTING THEM CHASE FOR CHEAP!!!!!

I like 3+ BB heres
This early in the micro stakes everyone will call with j10 suited
So make em pay

If I know the tables highly aggro I like limp check raising, but only if you have multiple maniacs.
Why dig there graves?
When you can Just hand them the shovel lol
