So I have had a lot of unsuited AAxx on the button in 0.05/.10 6 max. The most recent one was A

on the button. Everyone seems to like limping at this table. I am not sure if I should pot it. I just did the 3bb bet instead. Everyone called. I am just wondering is potting the best idea or is 3bb to keep the pot low since at this stakes I seem to always end up being a muliway pot. And we know AAxx unsuited does not play well multiway.

Just wondering everyone thoughts on playing this on the button. Thanks in advance.

Pot. You still have a queen high flush draw and useful sidecards. Rake structure also supports larger sizing

I don't mind overlimping some of the worst aaxx situationally. Generally any aax with another broadway card is better as a raise. But if we want to overlimp 2 disconnected cards below t, especially with raimbow or poor flush draws it can be ok. Especially vs. Agressive blinds that we can backraise.

Hands like aa94, aa27, aa36 are some of the more obvious candidates.

The difference of .5bb in open sizing is almost nil, except just... slightly worse.

This is only untrue in non rake games at certain lower stack sizes.
