AA vs. Four Callers
1/2. Rake/promo/tip is 6+3+2.
V1 (35) and V2 (covers) are calling stations. V3 (covers) is a winning player with a preflop calling range. V4 (covers) plays any two cards and calls wide postflop (“I just had to know what you had”). Hero (275) has a LAG image to V3. Others pay no attention.
OTTH
V1 UTG limps. Hero (275) UTG+1 bets 12 with AA. V2-V4 call. V1 raises all in to 35. Hero?

I think a small 4bet to somewhere between minraise and $100 is cool here. Really want to keep V4 in but flatting isn’t an option against this size IMO.
Obviously don’t want to flat the $35. One reason is I also don’t like like going to the flop with a dry side pot. I feel like it’s too easy for the other V’s to give up. At $35 you’re raising anyways but even with a larger shorty and deeper with the other V’s I always want a side pot.

the trouble with a minclick is that if V2 calls, V3 & 4 are likely to call and your AA is no longer a fave vs the field. Standard raise is 3x (last raise)+ all the scraps = 105 + 4(12) = way too much because you want 1 caller. I like $100.
