[Closed] AA69ds turned NFD and NSD

I think 3betting these aces PF is fine here. You often get HU w/SB.

I think calling the flop is least worse especially if UTG/CO/BU are relatively passive.

The question of bet sizing on the turn is not straightforward. We have no reads and our opponents have big differences in stack-sizes. Perhaps we could bet a little less just in case BU raises. If button were smart enough we could bet a little less than half the SB's stack size for a sort of optimized "value/protection-bluff'. I hope this makes sense.

You have double suited aces, and anyone who wants to call a bet and raise cold has to fear the SB reraising. This is an excellent spot for you to 3 bet preflop to $2.50 which would leave SB with $5 post flop in a pot that is at least $5 in size, therefore you can play post flop correctly (only needing 33% equity). If a third play calls preflop then the pot will be $7.50 and since you have them all covered, they again will only have 1 pot sized bet left postflop.

The flop is absolute nothing garbage, I would go ahead and shove it and I would definitely ignore the bet from the SB (small "post oak" bets like this should be treated as a check), players rarely show up with anything good after making those bets).

Turn is an even easier shove given it's a semi bluff (where you might actually be ahead!) but with so many outs even if behind, you're never getting it in bad, but your opponents might be by calling with a worse draw.

Definitely 3 bet preflop here though, and only because you have position on the preflop raiser.
