Default Re: AA

I would have bet the pot preflop. I think you bet a little more than the pot.

On the flop if you aren't going to fold you should bet more to increase his chance of folding a hand with 2 hearts or KQ or something. Your bet gives good implied odds to a nice number of hands (3:1 pot and all of your stack, maybe).

If it goes check check on the turn you need to bet what you think he will call. But the problem is as soon as you check the turn (after making a big raise preflop and a bet on the flop) many players will make a big bluff at this pot. (That sequence has no 'flow'.) Smooth calling the flop and betting big on the turn with a huge hand and position is standard so you will have a tough decision then. SO, I think checking the turn is wrong for most opponents.

[But I guess if you arent gonna lay it down then this is an ok strategy as it will get you busted the same amount but win you more chips from bluffs than ramming and jamming]
