Default call or fold

what do you do pre flop in a cash game when you are holding pocket aces and 1 person raises 200 and 1 more person reraises to 500 when there is only 34 dollars in the pot

Obviously you're getting it all in right!?!? I'm raising here, or shoving all-in depending on stack sizes

yep if stack sizes are only double that or so, I say, "well, I guess I am going all in" out loud if I am playing live and put all of my stack in. if you have huge stacks, then maybe just a raise to 1000 or so, with raises like that.

You re-raise. A raise and a re-raise, one of these players is staying with you. Also, give the original raiser or even the re-raiser the chance to fold. AA is top dog, but is more difficult to hold up against multiple hands. Chip stack matters as if stacks are in the thousands, all-in would be too much. Any thing less and all-in with AA. The dream situation is more than one person willing to push for you when you hold AA. Push back

I agree with MLitter its a No Brainer ALL IN (no thinking required)if your not going to gamble with pocket Aces what will you gamble with,All I'll say, I'll take AA as a starting hand 100% of the time & call all in everytime.I know who'd end up in front, ME

i agree with the former posters who said that stack size matters but that is the ONLY thing that matters, you have the current nuts and best shape an opponent can be in is having to catch a 2 outer, is the question is meant like it's alot of money for you and that is why you ould consider folding i would say that you are at the wrong limits.

but basicly, you either shove it should the stacks be up to maybe 2k or maybe 3k or yo reraise it to 1,5k-2k imo.

allin, don't drool all over yourself doing it, maybe someone else is willing to push behind you also, especially online, someone will be willing to quadruple up catching a miracle card

someone will be willing to quadruple up catching a miracle card...

this is exactly why he shouldn't go all in... a re-raise is best pre-flop... sorry, but it is... aces are not invincible... especially online...
