Below is the hand history from a $1/$2 NL Hold Em hand at Pokerstars ($200 Max Buy-In). Below it I attempt to justify my play - I know AA should almost never be slow played but I felt these were special circumstances. I think my post flop play is possibly unforgivable. All comments appreciated.
I am player "kumarnaib".

Board [4d Jc 5d Ks Qh]
The raiser and the cold caller were playing LAG at the time (though the raiser was not raising trash pre-flop in EP and MP). They had played several pots together taking huge amounts from each other in the last few mins. I felt I could rely upon the raiser to bet the flop big whatever fell and more than likely for the cold caller to raise him (again whatever fell). That part of my plan worked, but with the action that followed should I have known my AA was beaten and got out of there? When I made the final All-In call I had the raiser on KK, QQ or JJ - 2 of which I buried. Was this simply appaling play by me?
