I don't think you need to hear this so just tell me to shuttup, but....
Pots big enough to want to take it down PF. If no one calls you, you almost doubled up already. Not only that but after a raise and a re-raise, chances are that 1 of them are going to want to come along with you, if not both of them.

I can see your reasoning for not re raising if there was just one player but you need to isolate. Aces are only a massive favourite vs 1 hand.

In retrospect you were going broke whatever in this hand as I feel he calls any re raise here apart from a push.

His re raise from 600 to 1000 just isn't enough to make MP2 fold. especially when you call. I re raise here for isolation not value. Plus there is $1900 dead money in the pot already that will increase your stack a little less than double. I raise to at least $2000 (about the size of the pot) here if not push. If you push you might get 1 caller here, if you don't you get $1900 daed money.

i agree shas, i think the 5's call my push, if she was loose enough to reraise to 1000, whats another 1600 to call?

You only gain 400 chips here, it's not worth it. For slow-playing vs more than 1 opponent I need to be ultra-desperate with an M of 3 or something.
