Pocket aces with lots of callers

[flyingPenguin]

I think I played this OK, but I risked a lot of my stack for just a pair, and was wondering if I should have played it safer and tried to see the showdown cheaply in fear of a set or two pair rather than put him on the flush draw.

I raised more than the pot on the flop because there were so many callers pre-flop.

As with your other AA post, my only comment might be to bump it up a little more pre-flop (make it anywhere between 50-80c), especially with limpers in front of you. Might help limit the field a little. If I've worked it out right, you are getting 8 to the flop in a raised pot!!! That's horrific!

Other than that, I think you played it fine.

I love the way that he calls off his last bit of money with a K hi busted draw, presumably waiting for the Heart to drop on the magical 6th community card called the Bridge (or something!)

All the money got in on the turn.

Some of these guys will call $1 or more pre-flop. F*** balance.
