Goes like this.
I get AA in late position.

One limper before me so I min-raise. The limper was pretty wild so I expected a raise and I would go all-in preflop. Well it did not work out that way so I see a flop with 4 players and 400 chips in the pot. This was my second AA and my first big raise yielded the blinds only. So that is my excuse for the lame raise preflop.

Flop comes

K/images/graemlins/spade.gif 10/images/graemlins/spade.gif 10/images/graemlins/club.gif

It is checked to me so I throw out a bet of 600 at a pot of 400. Did I fear the 10 ? A little bit but I figured I wanted the AK and the flush draws to call.

I get check-raised all-in but it is only 250 more chips.

He had a 10. He was a bit of a maniac so I would not have respected his reraise no matter how many chips he had.

Is there any way to play this better ?

If the board was

10 10 3 then I would have folded to a check raise and may have bet less on the flop because the only hand that calls would be the hand that beats. With the K on the board I figured that someone having a K would call and therefore I had to take my chances on the trips.

Any and all advice welcome.

Raise more preflop...he's probably getting implied odds to call with any 2 if you're going to play this hand this way.

Your bet postflop commits you to call any raise. It's really difficult to play this hand postflop because of your preflop raise. I guess your best line once it gets to this point is to throw out a small bet but if you're check raised you still won't know if you're best or not although I'd lean toward not and then fold the hand.

For the record AK is unlikely since none of them raised and I wouldn't really want to call a bet with a flush draw given the circumstances. So any action you get will probably be from a ten or better unless they are a bad player.

Minraising sucks cause you cant define a callers hand.
SUre, you know that, but you got greedy.
Now you fear the 10's like dime bags of oregano.

Just had a similar one that puzzled me a bit. MP2 seems a solid player.
