***Full disclosure: This was a hand I observed... I did not participate in this hand.***
Lots of discussion threads cover what to do in various tricky situations - but we don't often talk about how to extract max value in in situations where we're holding the stone-cold-got-the-deck-locked-down-bleeping-nuts. So let's have some fun with this one.
Also, there's no real point in analyzing the individual decisions outlined below, since you'll see that they're - ahem - not optimal on any street. The point of this is more of a general discussion of a situation we all encounter here and there.
$1/$2 NLHE full ring at a local charity room. Stack sizes at the table range from min-buy-in ($40) to full bullet ($300). Talent levels range from absolute fish to competent/reasonably solid player.
4 players limp around to the BB (stack: $200ish) who raises to $7 with pocket aces. Everyone calls. Pot=$35
Flop comes --. BB (first to act) checks - action checks around.
Turn is the . BB checks again. Next to act bets $10 - rest of the table calls around to the BB. Pot is now $75.
BB's action?

BB's action?
BB shoves all in. Action quickly folds around to the button (full stack), who tanks for 15 seconds, then folds. BB tables his hand, to which the button revealed had an out against.
