AA BB Early Doors

Morning all,

Question:
3rd hand single table sit and go and you get AA in the big blind, everybody folds bar the small blind who just calls, what is the best play?
I would normally raise any small blind who just calls with any hand just for fun, (and to see what they're made of) but with AA is this the most profitable road to take?

I await your wise words

Mike

    Personally I likely make it 85 pre to vb bigger on streets vs an unknown and get out of the gates of the S+G running.  No point getting crafty vs an unknown readless, ending up playing an unraised pot through streets.  We do have position.

    Often find in these spots opponent will put you on paint combo and be more inclined to peel or float off flop, commit chips on medium board that hits their range.  Your taking the betting lead with perceived strength, opponent perceiving a low mid bored is a missed board.
