Villain is: 32/12 after 427 hands.

Limp with AA is not something I do frequently but in this manic table I thought it would be the best play.

What do you guys think I could do differently? Is the river shove too thin?

    It's hard to imagine a realistic situation where open limping AA is higher EV than raising, but whatever.

    Postflop looks fine.

    About the open limp, like I said I dont do it usualy but this table had an average of 50 VPIP and 3 players with >10% 3bet. In this situation it usualy induces at least 1 raise and a few cold calls. It buys me relative position allowing me to close the action and thus squeezing some players out what does not happen when I have 1 or 2 callers.

    And finally it allows me to have some dead money on the table so my 3bet will be larger and that lowers SPR making it easier to play OOP.

    I may be wrong and if so I would welcome someone to explain me why but against a very fishy table it seems like a good play to me.

    Need more than "manic table" to make me think limping aces is good.

    Go a little bigger pre. Shove river.

    Edit: Don't really like it, but if you're sure there's going to be a raise and they won't fold, then go for it.
