SB with 3800
BB with 1525
UTG with 1120

Blinds: 30/60
Site: Full Tilt Poker
Dealt to BB:A♥ A♣
Sklansky group 1
Preflop:
UTG raises to 180
3 players fold.
CO raises to 480
2 players fold.
Hero ???????

In this spot I am pretty sure a shove will bring a call from CO but do I want to call and try to keep UTG in the hand and then play from the flop out of position?

Just shove. It looks silly strong yeah but I think CO's reraise range would mostly call our shove. Make sure to go all-in here though and not a small 3-bet, all-in is much more likely to get called.

 

[Aaronftw]

Shove and cross your fingers, looks like you would atleast get one call. And aces heads up isnt a bad thing, if you get two calls even better.

 

[XPOKERCHIC]

Aces are hard to play with more than one player. Players will call a mid raise with any two cards. Small pairs calling is harder to know if they hit a set. Aces are usually behind after the flop. X

In my opinion i would go all in if he has a hand hes going to call i would put hin on Ak or KK

 

[honos]

go all in. one call for sure

 

[JoeDi]

I am definitely all in.. I would rather play AA heads up than against 2 people. If they are both holding pocket pair or suited cards then you are dodging 4 cards for sets or 2 suits for flushes... and you have 5 cards to come yet.. all in and if you get 2 callers great..

 

[brettstix]

I shoved here and got 2 callers. Against KK and QQ. Held up.

 

[FereZ]

He maybe got K-K or K-A there, Go all in!
If he call's & gets better hand, its totally Badbeat.
You should win with that hand.

Shove and pray. You have a good chance to win a very huge pot and maybe you will be against AK and a small pair which is good shape for you

 

[DaFrench1]

Standard shove

 

[RA2000]

If you want to eliminate the position advantage just move all in.
Of course this will be a very strong move and both players could throw the hand away. That also depends on the way that you played before...
Otherwise you will be pot commited if you raise 3 times again.
So just show all your chips into the middle and let your opponents decide .....

 

[aznman08]

especially since you have no read you have to go all in and hope for the best

 

[kcirjr]

You dont want to just call here, you want to probably shove all your chips in there. THe reason why is cuz you have seen aces cracked enough heads up do you really want to risk letting another person having a chance of catching a set or two pair? On the other hand sometimes you need to take a chance to get more chips out of it but if you let both in by just calling you need to shove in on flop.

 

[poloporasa]

It is a standard situation to go all-in. Just a call would not make sense at this point. Your all-in will probably called anyways. And if not you won a 750 pot.

If you play your aces to contained you may get sucked out. So try to give your opponents the wrong odds.
