I almost never ever slowplay AA -- that said I think I made the right play here. Do you agree?

Aggielife has played very tightly at this table. When calls my reraise I put him on high PP or AK. The flop was very good to me. I wanted him to try to buy the pot from me since it didn't look like he had QQ. On the turn, sure enough, he bet my stack and I called. Should I have been happy winning the pot after the flop instead of trying to milk it?

ok, so you put him on a range for what he's going to call your tiny reraise with.

what's the range that you think he was going to call a push (only 200 more chips) with?

are these ranges different?

You played it right, and you had him right where you wanted him - betting all of your chips way behind. He got lucky; it happens. nh

[Hornacek]

Min reraising preflop is generally a bad idea. Since you only had 205 more after your minraise, you should have just pushed all in preflop.

IMO you played this poorly preflop. With your chip stack, just POOOOOSH.

[splashpot]

Your stack is so small, you might as well just go all in preflop. I don't see a reason to slow roll this.

do you have any reason to think his line was actually right, besides that in the end, he got all his money in good?

Actually, now that I'm looking at his stack size, his line is irrelevant. What hand is villain going to fold to a reraise all in?

EDIT: at any point in the hand before the river, villain has to call with virtually any two raisable cards preflop, no?

Thus, he should just go all in preflop. Get his money in with the best. What if the flop had come AKJ the villian probably would have folded to any bet and you don't get full value from your aces.

Thanks guys. I was hoping for a rereraise vs. him folding. Sounds like I was trying to be too tricky while I should have just stuck to fundamentals.

Next time I'll just push with AA. I thought I could isolate him and draw more chips from him since he seemed to be a solid player. I'm not worried about the bad beat, god knows I win my share of those. Just wondering if my play postflop was incorrect.

Thanks for your time and helping me better my game.
