NL25 deep -- AA 5 way pot on flop

I can think of two possible plays.

Raise and fold to push or call and check fold turn to reasonable bet. What do you think is better and why? Or any other ideas?

raise more pf -.-

why would you ever 3bet here and fold to a shove? thats probably the worst possible option.

dont 3 bet if you're not gonna go with it

i think you can fold to the flop raise here...

4BB PF raise, and call flop, evalutate turn imo

you get deep NL25 tables at FT? how many are there usually?

fold

probably fold deep, kinda looks like he was set mining

Depends on the time of day but usually 5+ - and all usually worth sitting at.

Well, That is what I did. I made it 18 and when he made it 55 I folded. It was very obvious by that point that he had me beat. I don't think their is any way he could have AQ, he would have raised pf I assume. same with KK and QQ. So that leaves 58, 55, 88, and maybe Q8 or Q5. probably the former 3.

I feel that if I fold to the min raise I don't have enough information cause he just min raised, but a lot of time min raises do seem to show a lot of strength, especially at these limits. Further, If i Call, then how big a bet am I willling to call on the turn? I suppose maybe call, c/f would be the best play? Then, even if I hit my A my hand doesn't really improve, unless they have 58... and by calling am I just hopin for the turn to go c/c, otherwise I might as well just fold the flop, but it seems like a bad play to fold with such a weak raise... Hmmm

And while I agree after thinking that the raise was not the best play, I think it would be an even worse play to 3bet and then call the shove, even with invested money, cuz its 36 more and i'm 98% sure I am beat.

I agree with most of what you said, but hitting your A = nuts.

If their set improves to a full while I improve to a set?

there will never be a situation where you both have sets and only one person has a full house in hold em

lol you should move down if you think an A doesnt give you the nuts

he raised pot, theres nothing wrong with his preflop raise if thats his standard raise. when u bet and he raises, just pitch it. its so multiway that he probably has it

Uh. You should probably think about that one for a bit.
