It is a good example of the dangers of slow-playing a monster. Bad suck out on my part.

No, that hand argues for limping with AA, not against it. In fact, if I know you will always overplay TPNK but will fold trash when I raise, I'm confident that it would be more profitable to limp with AA in front of you rather than to raise with it. You had less than a 5% chance to win when you put in most of your stack. Your poor play justified slow-playing AA.

Examples that argue for raising with AA include hands in which

[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Someone would call a raise, then lose extra money postflop because the pot is larger and the bets are larger than they would have been in a limped pot.

By the way, you should have bet less on the flop. After your overbet was called, you should know you are far behind, and you should check-fold the turn.
