When to cold pre with AA?

So you disagree with everything I said Would you adjust these strategies at lower stakes? Could you address why offering the CO in hand 1 5:1 pot odds with a very possible pocket pair and very very good implied odds is better than raising?

Don't worry, doesn't mean I'm right. Besides, differences in opinion pave the roads of dialogue.

I'm certainly not flatting aces pre vs lower stakes nearly as much because they like to get it all in preflop more often.

There's two reasons why I don't mind giving CO 5:1, because it's unlikely he'll play the hand perfectly
1) He has to have a pocket pair
2) He has to call

Couldn't agree more. It's why I lurk here.

I suppose this is where our difference in stakes come into play. Not many ok'ish micro players (at least $20NL at Cake) 3bet anything that's not AK, AQ or a PP, which is why I claimed that he "very likely" has a PP. I was also assuming that he'd know he should call with his tasty odds and fishy opponent based on the stakes alone. I've just always pictured 1/2 players to be at that level.

I've been reading your posts for several months now. They always give me a lot to think about. Thanks for your insight and non-elitist attitude.
