Effective stacks $300 (besides one player at ~$80). Table very loose, very passive. Been playing for an hour.

Hero: AA raises to $17 in bb after 5 limpers, get 3 callers (table not paying attention to image, as this is my first hand in quite some time).

Flop: Ah 6h 5s

Sb (~$80 shorty) checks in the dark.

Hero?

Since the table is passive you will very likely get at least one caller continuing with a heart draw or a 78s or possibly most AJo/s+. Not too clear with the dynamics but it seems they call awful easy. Even with trip As this passive guy has enough in his range to have you beat. You have great odds on the flop so theres no way you can let this pot go, so reap in the donks cash.
Be careful because if he connects another heart, he will shove being the short stack knowing you will easily take the risk and call just to bust him. What's your stack size? If the price to call his shove on the turn/river is 1/4 of your effective stack you can afford to take the risk as to weather he has hearts or 78. provided the hearts are A9+ passive player w/40BB could easily call. Bet size? I'd say 1/3 pot. Keep it clean and don't get too fancy, looks like you have a frisky player who doesn't mind getting it in, if I were you, I'd sense it and be careful. You seem in a sweet spot but if he fires turn/river, just call and don;t create extra unneeded action. Results? curious. I'm learning myself, as we all are. Is this a live $1/$2 game or online?

We'll get action from FDs, SDs, case A, stubborn pocket pairs that won't want to believe you have an A.

What is our image? What is our respective villain images? What is the stack sizes of the villains left in the hand. What is our stack size?

Pre-flop is fine

I'm betting 40-50 here.

Depending on stack sizes I'm shoving all non hearts on the turn.

One consideration: you might want to cbet on the small side if you think SB shoves often enough. Just enough so you can reopen the betting if there are other callers.

I don't think that's the case in this hand, as there aren't that many combos of hands for him to want to GII with and someone else behind to call with, but it's a consideration.

very loose, very passive.. so we don't expect them to raise on this flop a lot except they flop a monster draw, set, 2 pairs... but we can get value from big Ace hands.

im betting around 60 for value, we may only get 1 street of value here.

Correct we must bet exactly half (or one dollar less) than the short stack so we can shove ontop if it comes to that.
