I have Phil the LAGG and another LAGG. Aces in the BB , sandwiched in between two LAGGS. Should I have raised this much ? I feel like I had many opportunities to extract chips from these guys but I didnt take advantage of them with great hands. I have been paying close attention to other players and I am glad I only had these two to deal with. What do you do when your in the middle of these two with Aces??? Standard ... 3 X the BB with two LAGGS in the hand, or should I have checked to try to trap?

Looks fine to me... hell, with two laggs, I might raise more.

Problem: They both folded I take it down .. ummm 60 chips.
Solution: Raise more 4 X BB plus 30 for each limper.. Maybe they will call with some suited bull- or something worst. Maybe they will think Iam stealing.. Anyhow.. Im getting more chips in there next time regardless if they call or fold. Just because they are loose as hell , doesnt mean I have to be.. Thats where I fuck this up , I start playing any hands like they would . A LAGG would have min raised this hand. I am sticking with the standard and more times than less... I will do better.

I think a standard 3x raise is fine here. If they didn't call 100, I doubt they'd call 150 or 200. Sometimes you just can't extract value with AA, that's the way it goes.

Sometimes you just don't get any action on your monsters. Whatever you do, don't check this to try and trap. One of the opponents will inevitably flop two pair and then you'll be over in the Bad Beat forum blasting the fish who cracked your Aces. And that's very, very -EV.

Never.
