AA or KK very early in a multi

[stussy2k]

i find that with pocket aces, what you want is raises in as many positions before you as possible, then push in all the chips. I feel that with pocket aces, you DO NOT want to be called. You don't want some shmuck to get lucky on you, so all in is the way to go.

If I have AA and I made a big raise preflop I definately want a caller preferably with Ax because then I'm a huge favorite to win, hell every other pocket pair is a 4 to 1 underdog. The this you don't want to do is let people in cheap to beat you with J9o or whatever . The only time you might want to just call is if there is only a single raiser and everyone has folded to you and you are confident that you'll be heads up, then I would probably smooth call and try to trap someone with AJ and a board of J93. Another play people seem to love to do is to check the flop if they hit a set this is a good move if there isn;t two suited on the board(if there is I'd be wary of letting someone draw a flush for cheap the same goes for higher connectors). If you're worried that you;ll be outdrawn with AA definitely push it all in. No one will every critisize your play for doing it!
