my thoughts were that the flop push by him was really a shocking play.. so i'm kind of posting this as a "is this a way not to play AA?"

but also, with preflop.. i limp/call, do you think this is wise.. i need to win atleast $16 if i hit a set right? so would i want more people in the pot to make that call, or do you call on implied odds that one of them will pay something on the flop.. the $2 raise is consistent with a standard raise, so could be high cards which will pay nothing to my flop bet. Or it could even be a rag steal attempt considering he's on the button.

also, do think i would more often see that his AI on the flop is a bigger set?
