Need some help with this hand.
2/5 local casino all players have been at this table atleast a couple hours
The table is pretty active and a few have been straddling.
I have been running extremely well and have had unbelievable straddle hands.
In succession on my last two straddles I've had QQ, KK felting one guy and winning big pot with other. Always raising my straddle. I believe table has had enough of me straddling and raising.
When I straddle this round the table and I all joke that it will be AA.
only significant players in hand are
V1 extremely TAG leaning towards NIT, 30's white guy, Rec. regular no previous history, came from broken table has a pocket full of chips and have seen him top off twice.
V2 weak calling station, on 3rd buy in, never raising getting value owned by table never seen him before.
Eff stacks $600

H UTG straddles $10
UTG+1 calls $10
MP calls $10
V1 HJ raises to $45
V2 button calls
Both blinds fold
Hero looks down at AA
Hero?

Raise, ldo. You will look so FOS, esp in an obvious squeeze spot like this. Make it about 125, imo.

Super easy raise here.
Esp given history.

~$130 looks good to me.
No one will believe you in the slightest and you may get 5bet by a range as wide as JJ+, AK here.

At worst we are getting 1 caller and it's a super easy stack off over two streets on almost any non KQJ montone flop.

Make it 120. They'll never believe you. Maybe that makes the case to make it slightly bigger. Still we need reads on v's before we can know what's the correct size

Absolute raise, and make it enough to isolate or induce. Also prior hands come into play here. You mention having QQ and KK earlier rounds but how were they played and vs whom? Were any of those players in this hand? How did they play the hand? Were they involved in the banter before the hand was dealt (more realistic that they won't believe your raise)?

Time for a gto fold. IMO.

#unexploitable.

Spoiler:
or, what Garick said

When running over the table, slow down with bad cards, put the hammer down with good cards

Definitely an auto shove on the flop, no reason to check raise as they are priced in, would only be about 230 to 710 for the initial raiser

Raise 100% of the time I'd make it 4 to 4.5 times. You've been getting miracle hands from straddle so obviously they'd never believe you that's why you have to raise bigger than 3 times IMO.

3 times is so fishy and they'll call without thinking. No. You don't want this. You want people to make tough call decision yet they don't fold. So raise 4 times is my move.

I raised to $120 and it folded around and took down the pot. Didn't know if anyone would call and play it out.
