Annoying and badly played AA
 

Ok, I hate how I played this one, do I have a call on the river the way I played it? Villain hadn't done anything stupid, he was tight and semi-agg, nothing special. I mean his bet size after I check feels more like weakness than strength still I couldnt pull out a call on a double paired board. Maybe this would have been a good spot to put out a blocking bet of about 25$ on the river?

Definitely bet more on turn.

No reads?... Getting 2:1 I probably call the river; there's a high enough prob. he missed his flush draw. But given the relatively small pot, I don't think folding is that bad either... this is pretty much read-dependent.

yeah the turn is obvious, don't know what I was thinking.
