i didnt say sweeten the pot with a minraise. i said "rather nicely." meaning, charge a price, but not too high because you are still a monster favorite.
you still have majority equity in this pot...so long as its under 3 people. you have to go to 4 players before your equity falls to under 50%.
i can see the point that 50% equity isnt great, but it is when compared to the other pp's having under 25%.
i guess what i am saying is that, while you guys are correctly talking about odds (per OP), i am talking about equity.
in a tourney, pp's are widely considered big hands, especially later in the tourney. but, against AA, the AA has a huge equity advantage, and should not be so concerned, imo, about taking away odds when he KNOWS that his opponents are on pp's. he should be worried about getting as much money into the pot as possible w/o folding off his suckers.
even if they are 3:1 combined against me...i will win 3 times out of 4. meaning, i have 75% equity pf. i like 'dem numbers, and i want to avoid driving off customers MORE than i care about laying odds to draw...long term.
if i KNOW they are on pp's, then, when the flop comes J 5 8, and i get check/raised all-in...i am confident i can get away from that one with my AA.
but i understand that wasnt the point of the OP...sorry.
