I rather 3bet , trying to get the pot heads up and utg1's range has to be strong maybe you can get a shove.postflop is ok.

I like 3bet also for 2 reasons:
UTG raise usually means strong hand(no need to slowplay)
There are a lot of action on these rebuy MTTs anyway and you don't want to be in a multiway with a monster hand!
I don't like to slowplay monsters cause i have hard time to fold it to a lot of action postflop!
The villain did played the hand very tricky and suspicious. I would be inclined just to call since he played the had weird even you would lose value in some cases! The problem with this hand is you don't know where you stand...it is more WA/WB!

P.S. Don't post the outcome of the hand!

first of all i was CU and the table looks tight and it wasnt going to be multiway couse it was utg limper, utg+1 raiser and me, blinds were in tough spot couse utg might reraise, and i was hoping that utg guy who limps had something and maybe reraise and than i'll came over the top.
I dont might playing AA 3 way in positions i want them to catch something and bild pot couse i think big hand need to win big pots
i knew that he got strong range there JJ+ AQs+ but i got American Airlanes, so I let them came along and fly with me (i'll be the pilot thoug lol)

what if i reraise he calls and checks/fold flop??

the vilain played that hand OK till river then that donk river bet was so donky, ♠_mad:
the line there is either u bet shove or u check to induce bluf from busted draws and smaler pockets.
i bet flop after he checks couse i thought that he got strong hand range and i was sure that he wouldn't fold to flop bet, and that bet looks tricky couse i think that he'll never put me on AA in that spot
I was going to push my hand any way on river or if he reraise me all in on turn i was going to call i was looking to double up
thats way i slow play it preflop to trap them and 2x or 3x up

its a rebuy tournament so people will go broke preflop with so many trash hands, like 55+ AJ+ that you just have to 3bet your aces.
you create a multiway pot with aces... in a rebuy tournament thats horrible.
just 3bet preflop !!! no other choice here.
as played nh.
allways raise the river ! his blockbet doesnt make sense maybe Kx so raise and get called
