I was playing live yesterday and started talking to this guy about how he hates AA because everyone set mines him and he can never be sure if he is good. "I usually stack off when the flop is dry." he said. I am in no hurry to give him advice but I put alot of thought into how the most +EV manner to play AA would be.
Doyle says, (paraphrasing) You are either going to win a little pot or lose a big pot with AA.

My thoughts are if we open shove anytime with AA, we get blinds, limped dead money, and any raises behind us 85%-90% of the time.
The other 10-15% we are getting our money in with at least a 4-1 against any decent hand. In fact, the likely calling hands (kk,qq,aks,ako) we have dominated. No worrying about being set mined by a 44 and even though we will lose 20% or so we will make a huge profit long term.

Any thoughts on this?
