AA in SB -- did I maximize value?

[Hoi Polloi]

Played it fast -- is there a better line?

This is perfect.

You played it fine. You might have been able to get a check raise in somewhere but you probably would have shaken a straggler loose too. They put you on AK and figured they'd call you down with some crap hand. I think you got max value.

I wouldn't never consider check-raising here. The attempt will fail to many times.
