the point of pushing AI when there is a raise and a few callers when it gets to you, is to take it down now, not to get your all in called... as doyle puts it, you either win a small pot or lose a big pot with AA.

heres the deal .. im UTG with JJ , i raise 5x the BB, i get 3 callers, you on the button with AA reraise me to make it 10x to 15x BB, i call, the other callers fold, we take a flop.

scenario 1: board comes AK4 rainbow, i check, you move all in, i fold.

scenario 2: board comes J52 rainbow, i check, you raise all in, i call and take your stack.


the point of the examples explains my point, your not getting called on the flop by a worse hand. a huge reraise like that preflop tells me you probably got the goods, and will only call your all in flop bet when i set... you push back at me all in preflop, i'll fold my Jacks.

and if you run into this regularly, then yes the players you find online do suck that bad.
