Doh.

Not quite sure what your point is.

Are you saying you should always slow play AA or KK? In my opinion I will only slow play them occassionaly. Most of the time you want to thin the field. He still had 2 players call, which is ideal for the situation.
You want to get paid on your AA or KK, you also want to extract the most from your foes that you can.

Because he had one person infront limp in, he still had 4 after him, I dont think it was a horrible play. He raised 5xBB which is about right. Now, after the flop he may have played it differently, instead of raising the size of the pot, maybe put in raise of half the pot, or even a baby raise. He may have gotten some action that way.

Just my opinion.

I guess there is really no point. I was just excited as I have been making some easy folds to save money lately.

As for calling, I gladly call there becuase If an ace comes I can assume he has KK and probably win some wouldnt go to crazy in case he has AK, if i hit QQ i can get even more from him. With only 50 more cents to call I figured I could see the flop and judge from there. I was pretty sure he was trying to protect with his bet and it was an easy laydown.

Ah, I get it now. I misread the intent of the original post.

Gotcha

Sometimes you don't mind giving away your strength in order to achieve isolation. This is a perfect example.

Yeah, it gives it away to people who are paying attention, but generally someone there isn't, and they pay you off.
