O-Poker

I think this hand is a good example of maximizing value with AA by flat calling after raising instead of 4 betting preflop. I often get way too caught up in 4 betting preflop with AA in 6 max cash games. If I 4 bet here, he is folding most of the time. By flat calling, I have a better chance of stacking him which significantly out weighs the chance of him of hitting his set.
