Not a specific hand but more a general one. AA junk, that's when the A's aren't suited and the side cards don't work very well together. AA92, AA74 etc etc. I'm really unsure about how to play these.
AT the moment I am limping them from any pos and usually calling a raise, but I am about to give up on the calling a raise part and if I do that.. it feels kind of dumb to limp them in EP, at least at an aggressive table.
Being OOP and looking for only one hand, the top set, doesn't feel like a profitable situation. A lot of raising hands has an A in them so I could be drawing to one out, or none if it is a better AA doing the raising.
I'm also unsure of how to play AA post flop when I only have an overpair. In a multiway pot I just check/fold it, but what about in a more shorthanded pot? Against a maniac?
Should I just be folding AA junk preflop in EP, and dumping it against a raise in any position?
