Capatalizing on AA

[DickieBets]

Hi,

I've been thinking that I'd like to get more chips for my good hands, here are a couple of A-A hands I recently played in a 45 man SitnGo - I'd liketo learn to extract more from pocket Aces . Any suggestions ?

Hand 1 : Obviously I'd like one player to call, but I'm also worried I will get too many people in the pot .

UTG (t1440)
UTG+1 (t880)
MP1 (t2405)
MP2 (t5365)
CO (t1595)
Button (t5015)
Hero (t3685)
BB (t1915)

Preflop:
3 folds, MP2 calls t150, CO calls t150, 1 fold, Hero raises to t1075, 1 fold, MP2 folds, CO folds.

Final Pot: t1525

Hand 2 : Normally I don't limp in with pocket Aces - but many of the pots were being raised preflop so since I was hoping for a raise that I could reraise. Also, even though I flopped a set, I was afraid to slow play with the potential flush and straight possibilities.

Hero (t1255)
MP1 (t4415)

Preflop:

Flop: (t975) 2, A, 3 (3 players)
BB bets t50, Hero raises to t955, MP1 folds, BB folds.

Final Pot: t1980


Thanks in advance,

These are fine. Hand 1 I probably make it 750, but I don't think it would have changed much.

Hand 2 - you can't slow play it with 2 opps in (maaaybe with one) nh. Either they have the case A and you're getting paid, or not.

Ya thats a HUGE raise in hand one. You obviously had your aces cracked a couple hours before this hand took place

I should add - if you're going to bet too little or too much, go with too much.
