Re: is this +EV or am I a luckbox?
Villain didn't min-raise.
With stacks that deep and two players you can call that reraise PF. But is it EV+? Depends. How much image play do you get from this in the long run? He had AA. You'd have probably stacked him by limping and letting him raise and cold calling.
Any trashy hand can make a big one. But if you go around committing $80 PF with hands like T4s too often, you're gonna find yourself on the losing end a lot more than the winning. Biggest problem is that with AA, he's still got about 20% to catch up to you. Not that it's a lot, but bottom line, you're still gonna lose a fair number of hands when you flop your bottom two pair there. Add on how many times you have to fold after the flop, and paying $80 with trash is never going to be EV+.
