I love to play the hammer for the big-blind. It is my favorite hand because it is easy to get rid of post flop if you don't get a piece of the flop and no one expects you to play it. I won this pot because there was no pre-flop raise from the pair of Aces in the hole. After the flop he only raised 3 times the big blind. Had he raised pre-flop, I would have mucked the hand. That is part of the problem with slow playing aces.
