playing 1-2 NL $300 max buy-in at the Taj Poker Room. Just got the table so don't really have a read on anybody yet my stack is $200. I get AA. I raised to 25 preflop. I get 4 callers (I was a little suprised of so many callers at the time). Flop comes K-9-3 rainbow. A good flop for me I thought. Everybody checks to me I bet $80 (I pretty big bet at this table from the previous action i was seeing). I get one caller I was not to concerned hoping he just has a K. Turn comes a Q. He goes all in. I think he may have two Pair KQ (By the way his stack is just a little more than mine at the start of the hand) couldn't put him on set figured he would have raised the flop. I didn't put him on a straight because he would have had to call $80 bucks on a gut shot. I call thinking i might lose to 2 pair but I feel I am pot commited because over half my stack is in there and maybe I can pair the board to have higher so pair or maybe he is just on AK. He show J-10. I was irrate that he called a $80 bet with a gut shot draw. Did I play this right was there anything I could of done to take down this pot??
