Am I telegraphing my hand? Should I be doing this to try to get heads up with one opponent? How much does being double suited here help my situation?

Looking at the surrounding stacks only the initial raiser (had raised almost every limped pot that got to him) and SB are not playing short so I really don't mind one of the shorties coming along for the ride.

Oh yeah... standard?

who cares if you're telegraphing your hand if all the money's going in?

yeah...standard

I love limping PF OOP.

Then you find the opportunity to put 1/3 of your stack in preflop and you take it.

Perfectto.


****

With aces - ds or not - if you raise PF OOP you will either win a small pot or lose a big one. If you limp in , you will either lose a small or win a big one.

In position if you raise frequently enough , people will lower their standards against your raises and you will get check-raised by hands like Top Two or bottom set while you are holding a set of aces.

I prefer an initial raise preflop, but I generally raise with a pretty wide range so it wouldn't really signal my hand as much as it would for other players. You have a great hand, get some value.

If you aren't the sort to raise without a big hand I like how you played it.
