This guy seemed pretty aggressive, but I hadn't really been paying a whole lot of attention. I figured there was a good chance he was weak since he was raising on the button after a forced post, so I decided to slow-play my aces. What's a good line afer this flop hits?
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)
SB ($335)
Hero ($185.75)
UTG ($62.70)
MP ($200)
Button ($266.05)
Preflop: Hero is BB with A , A . MP posts a blind of $2.
1 fold, MP (poster) checks, Button raises to $10, 1 fold, Hero calls $8, MP folds.
Flop: ($23) 2 , 2, 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $18, Hero ?

I would raise to 50-60 and call a push. To truly confuse him/her you could just flatcall and open push the turn but I like c/raising the flop more.

the board is pretty dry. i would call and donk a weak 1/3 pot bet on any turn, hoping for a raise.

i definitely c/r this flop it looks like 66-22. C/r a small amount so he may push or think he has odds for overcards.

The problem I have with raising is that he usually has nothing. If he does have a middle or big pair, he's usually firing big on the turn anyways.

if he's aggressive enough to warrant a call from AA pre i say we c/c most of the way.

INSTA min check raise, since he's aggro enough he might play back with overs.
i like the other suggestions too but this is my favorite.

If you're not going to c/r the flop, you have to be very sure he's going to be the turn and possibly the river with air. If he's probably not doing that, you may as well c/r the flop to get your money in when he does have some kind of hand, Or just reraise preflop.

This would work way better if we were the preflop raiser. I don't think it's the optimal line in this hand though.

I like a c/r on this flop because it's SOOO dry, I would c/r it with almost anything. But I wouldn't c/r with AA the first time I did this.
I guess call/donk turn is OK.

we dont think the villian has a hand so we are not winning a big pot here really very much. so i think check call flop is fine and checking turn is fine too. river action depends on the cards that come.

I don't hate the check/minraise - enough players do this when they suspect you haven't hit (at 100nl at least) that if villain is holding something like 99-JJ he may actually push here.

no way...from my experience, it's such a weak play that an aggro will 3bet bluff or at least call and see the turn a lot of the time.
check-calling is at least as good, but i think this is more fun.
