**AA is on SB, but I can't change the title of the post**

2NL fast-fold 6max. This one can be posted in a single screenshot.

Hero has 102bb on SB with AA facing a 2.5bb open from UTG followed by a trail of calls from HJ, CO, and BTN.

Pot size before hero's preflop decision is 11.5bb.

Is there a suggested 3bet size here or is this a jam? I was thinking if I would 3bet, it would be to 22-25bb, but I didn't because:
  • I felt in this situation there would be too many players coming along or
  • someone else would jam anyway and
  • a jam from me could have the greatest chance of folding out the most players and
  • I want to isolate UTG if possible

Standard sizing out of position is 4X plus the calls, so in this case 20c + 3x5c = 35c. Given that its 2NL, and people hate to fold, you can size up a little and make it 40-45c. This still does not commit them to the pot, and you will almost certainly get action from at least one player.
