Please critique this play of AA

[Student Caine]

Thanks for all of your help with my AKo post...so now how about this play of AA, which has been a feast or famine hand for me as well (in fact, in the past I have done better with AA by shoving preflop!).

Thanks in advance for your input.

Reads? Against your generic player, that min-raise is either a bad hand looking to find out where it's at or a strong hand hoping to sucker you in.

Seeing as how you raised PF, it's hard to see you not having anything. 3-betting, especially min 3-betting, is the worst way to play it I think.

I think the flop is probably a fold, and maybe a call, and then check behind the turn.

if you were really eager to get it all in, then you played fine but otherwise, this is no good.

[Student Caine]

This guy is Loose Aggressive pre-flop, but tends to be a bit passive post flop (which should have clued me in to his holding when he was Check Raising post flop).

[Student Caine]

I wasn't eager to get it all-in. I definitely botched this one, was just looking for where and how. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I let it go after the flop min raise.

there is really no draw. only possible hand that you beat that plays like this is AK.
