Standard. You have to call him unless you have some kind of fantastic read.

[TheWorstPlayer]

Actually, the Q makes it possible to get away against some opponents. And you don't need to bet the full pot heads up. If you bet half the pot or slightly more and get raised all-in you may find a fold since you are now behind both AA and QQ which are his two most likely holdings.

[jimdmcevoy]

You could bet $20 and then fold getting 2-1 odds since you are afraid of AA or QQ in a 6-max game? Couldn't he just as easliy have AQ here?

[jimdmcevoy]

Correction, better than 2-1 odds

[TheWorstPlayer]

Against some people, yes. Against most people, no. And re-raise more preflop. A re-raise should force them to make a decision. This one doesn't. No one is folding for another $6.

not as bad as what happened to me yesterday, 100 nl party

mp raises to 5, 2 callers i pop it to 30 with kk from the sb

button reraises to 75, i know i have him smoked

i put him in cause i have him covered

kq

and i lose the 9-1 a high flop, J, T runners lol

and i thought the players would be decent, this guy TRIED to give me his money.

You played this hand fine. If you have the bankroll and can handle the more expensive swings I would recomend playing the higher limits for a while longer. These swings are temporary and it will feel nice when the cards start falling for you.

[Raiser]

Nobody thinks hero should raise a little bit more PF?

I'd probably make it $14 or so with 2 people already in the pot.

The rest looks fine. Bad luck.

CO couldn't have played that hand any worse. pocket aces aren't the type of hand where you want many players and this guy just calls your reraise, had he played it right and reraised again preflop, you could've possibly made it a cheaper loss putting him on pocket aces or pocket queens.
