I'm UTG here Chris. I can't check. I could limp but I don't like it at all at this particular table.
I'd just made a previous raise preflop of 4XBB from mid-position.
It got one caller and I made a just-under-pot-sized continuation bet on the flop. I take the pot there in what I feel looked like a steal.
In this hand from UTG I'd normally be looking to raise with AA, unless I think there are good reasons to expect I'd get re-raised. I certainly don't want to be in a multiway pot when the flop comes.
The 4XBB raise at this table looks like it will take blinds or get one caller. With my previous play fresh in mind, I'm also thinking that it might look like I'm getting a bit cocky, which might encourage someone to play back at me with an inferior hand.
