AA vs many Calling Stations
If I have AA in position vs three other calling stations, what should I do? Should I value bet flop, turn and river?
Assume Iām on the button and I raise to ten BBs and three other stations call. Should I value bet all the way to the river? I presume that if I get raised I should fold.

Yes valuebet all the way until you get raised.
But, if you go 10bb preflop, 3 callers
Pot is already 40 on the flop, if you bet 25, all call.
Pot is already 140 on the turn, we can jam already on the turn.
I guess we can size it up to like 15-20bb then 3 callers.
Then jam any flop.
But it's rare to have that many callers for over 10+bb unless it was a 3bet.
Thanks!
The CoPilot said to value bet all streets as well. I had to ask although because I don’t know how accurate AI is?
Depends on the board.
Is it still ok to slow play instead of value betting? For example a limper bets the flop, and I just call. The limper bets again and I call again. Same for the river. Is this ok?
Opponent is a calling station

So a Villian donks after 3 people call a 10bb raise? Again this depends on which one donked, how much they bet and what the flop is. If you've got black aces and the flop is something like Jd5d2d and you've got the first to act donking 40bb+ into 3 other people, we might even want to fold right then lol
You need more information in a post to get a realistic answer as to the strategy.
A lot of this depends on stack sizes and SPR.
The more committed we are due to getting in huge chunks of stacks preflop / setting up a very small SPR, the more we should commit in whatever way we think is best.
The less we are committed due to getting in very small percentages of our stack preflop / setting up a very large SPR, the more we should not be attempting to get in large chunks of stacks behind and instead perhaps lean to getting to showdown cheaply / underrepping / folding to aggression.
Image, opponent awareness and board runout also plays a big factor in lines we should take. If we end up against a clueless passive calling station on a drawy board, taking a bet/fold route is probably fine. If we end up against a competent aware player who sees us as a tight ABC nit on a drawless board, the same line might be suicide.

It depends.

Jesus, what?
FFS, no, you shouldn't just blindly go bet-bet-bet for value when you're facing three opponents, regardless of the board, and absent any reads. And no, you shouldn't necessarily fold just because you get raised. It depends on a lot of factors.
Why the hell would you open to 10BB's? Is this over 3 limps or 1 limp and just the blinds left to act? What is the game size? How deep are we?
You can go bet-bet-bet on some boards, but not on others. I probably wouldn't try to get three streets of value with just an over-pair if we have three callers all the way to the river. Maybe if we're just betting super-small the whole way. Definitely not if we're betting big.
So many factors would affect how you play your AA.
with the information given it's very hard to give you a proper answer on how to play.
Like someone said, if both your Aces are black & the flop comes all diamonds, & someone donks a large bet into 3 other players, you might have to fold.
