What is my play?

    This happened last night in the PPP qualifier. Im not sure that i played the hand too well and would appreciate any opinions. I had been playing fairly tight as it was a crazy table and was card dead most of the game so far.

    I had about 4.5k before the hand and blinds were 200/400. I was short stacked at my table as there was a few maniacs who had hit some flops and taken a few players out.

    Cards dealt out and i wake up with AA in the big blind. Delighted now as i think i have a good chance of doubling up at my crazy table with this hand.

    Folded around to MP(maniac about 25k chips), he just limps in but he has been doing this a lot and calling raises. Button limps too which is unusual as he has only entered pots previously with a raise. Im suspicious here and think he has a big hand. NTLbell is small blind and he calls too. Button has about 12k and NTL has about 6k.

    What is my play here?

    All in. But that's me. Rather win a little than lose a lot.

    I'd raise to about 1500 and reevaluate after. If someone pushes, great. If you get a caller or two then you will most likely be pushing the flop or calling a push by one of the others.

    2000 to go, then all in on flop no matter what comes up, or if from history of playing they are likely to call an all in pre flop it could also be considered. The smaller bet might get an extra caller preflop who would then fold if they miss the flop. But if u get more than one caller the pot odds might incline the other limpers to stay in with a drawing hand and your chances of winning are less. I'd prob go with the smaller bet, if you do get more than one caller they will prob force one or other out of the hand before showdown being so aggressive.

    Either or, being so short stacked ya gotta get all your chips in and make a move. Hope ya won!

    There's 1600 out there. Any raise you make will commit you to the hand anyway so why not just take away any possible tough decisions and just push.

    I did in fact push and got no callers. I was hoping that a push would make it look more like a steal as if i had bet 2000 it looked like a monster as i had to be on a stop and go with only 2500 behind.

    I could not believe the maniac did not call as he had been calling with with any suited connectors throughout the game and hitting most of the time. I was happy to collect the 1600 in play but think this waste of AA killed my chances last night.
