The table was ultra loose and a few donks loved to stab at the pot. My image was tight and straightforward.
Hero($250) on UTG raised $12 with :Ad: :Kc:, CO($1100) monster stack called, BT ($450) called, small blind($520) called. CO was straightforward and always slow played big pairs (QQ-AA) preflop, BT was a gambler and small blind was a habitual bluffer, loose and continued beting a lot with some sort of shit or TPWK stuff in every street when nobody showed strength. However he was capable of folding to a big raise though.
flop($50) : :Ac: small blind donk bet $30, hero ? Raise /commit right now with big stacks behind or just flat call/induce this particular guy who more than likely bet his ace rag & shit here?

Your hand is pretty face up here either way. If you call, you have AK,AQ, or are slowplaying a set, and if you raise, you have a set or are pushing AK real hard.
I prefer a raise since a ton of 1/2 live players will stack off with worse and you dont want a cascade of callers followed by a spade/3/4/Q etc on the turn.

raise to $120 and commit yourself to the hand.
"This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

$80 to $100ish does the trick. I want to see how the other guys react and if somone really wants to tell me I'm beat still be about to get away from the hand.

yeah, a smaller flop raise is easily the best line here. I raised to whopping $100 and everyone folded. PPl are really scared when big real money hit the table.
small blind went into tank and turned over Ace rag. CO folded his QQ.

12 is a big raise from UTG to get exploited because people can happily set mine u all day. and 1 player out of 9 is bound to have a pair of some sort.

i agree with fnord with the make it 100 and pray to god they dont hit a set or get silly flipping with ace rag clubs.
