AA early in DYM. Is this too passive?

Figured that the flop was all over a callers' range, and to be betting into 3 opponents, the villain must have a pretty strong hand. Is just folding too passive here?

    I kinda like it, but am a massive nit :p

    4way flop, board SMACKS the callers range hugely.

    Dont mind it at all, I prob peel 1 street tho.

    annoying to go four way to a flop with AA.

    I prob call the flop and reassess on the turn.. (just hope the button and sb fold) not loving life tho, but some players will donk out with 1 pair hands on this board! you could easily still be good.

    dont think i just muck at the point you did. i know dyms are all about preserving chips early and betting your strong hands strong, but 100 extra chips into this pot will not be the end of the world.

    call, folding is just way too tight - could be betting so many hands you beat 

    if oppo gets lively on turn, then mayb fold

    difficult spot

    if you call what're you gonna do on the turn? I don't mind it but I'd call - you're still beating a lot

    depends on his action/bet sizing on the turn and the card that falls obv. (Also assuming the pot is now HU)

    if he bets really small and the turn is a blank i call another street.

    If his bets start getting really big, then I can almost snap fold the turn.

    If he checks a blank turn we bet for value

    and so on... so many possibilites and we havent even looked at his, or our own, image.

    Yeah donkbets like this are usually always weak from experiance, obz you can't raise but just call IP and see what he does, most likely check the turn so you can then bet yourself.
