I was playing the Sunday Million earlier and encountered a problem that I`ve never been able to surmount: playing big hands such as AA preflop when the stacks are really deep. If I put in a standard 3bet, which is going to be small relative to the stacks, then I feel like what little I`m gaining by charging my opponents extra to continue, I`m more than losing in negative implied odds since I`m communicating to my opponents I have a strong hand and if they flop their set or whatever then they can take me to value town; so I win a small pot or lose a big one. I realize my 3bet below is unusually large, but how much would you 3bet and how would you proceed generally postflop? Would you go for 4 streets of value if the board isn't wet?
