    no action with aces is going to happen, and it sucks One suggestion; are you raising aggressively with other hands, or just monsters? If you show the table you will raise big with weaker hands, then you will get more action when you do get dealt something great like A-A. After my recent counseling about the size of PF raises, i'd have to say that i like your raise and that you played the hand correctly.

    Standard.

    Make sure you are making this raise sometimes with JTs and other drawing hands.

    Other than that, as long as you can get away from AA post-flop if things get complicated, then mix things up with 3x raises. Or, every so often limp behind a frequent raiser.
