AA UTG sucks. If you limp in you are praying for a raise or squeeze and when it doesnt happen you find yourself OOP going to a flop multiway with a hard hand to fold. Sometimes I will limp if I am at a table where my opponents dont know my playing style, but I have a good read on them being aggro and raising a lot. I honestly rarely limp though. My standard raise is .12 so I raise AA just like any other hand. Here is a spot where I raise AA pre and fire pot on flop. The flop is Q 4 5 hh. I bet pot because there are a ton of combos of Qx he could have and I want to make him pay for that or if he has a flush/straight draw. The 8 hits the turn which would complete the 67 open ender. I check and he bets .60 into .90. We both are kind of deep stacked still so I decide to 3x raise. I think this just looks so strong and he cant continue without the nuts. If he were to flat this bet I would be very scared and check fold a lot of rivers. With an addition .60 in the pot I am happy to make a strong raise and take down the pot, leaving him clueless about what I am holding.
