you seem to have a problem with misapplied aggression. overall you seem to be weak tight but when you try and be aggressive it's in all the wrong spots. I don't understand the PFR. solid poker will win money, not random stupid raises like this

no reason to call the flop if you're going to fold the river.

pf raise is silly.

Beleive it or not, my preflop play is actually very solid and TAG (my VPIP is in the mid-15's). It is my postflop that sucks, which is what I am trying to improve and thus I posted this hand. I have no problem conceding that the pf raise was totally insane, but what about the other streets? I feel I had odds to call both the flop and the turn, and that folding either would have been a disaster.

You have the correct odds on the flop and turn only if your sure no one has a set. The pre flop raise is chip spewing.

he has odds to draw to two pair

PokerBob what were your thoughts on the PF raise? Thin the field(I hope not), disguise your hand, change your table image? What was going on at the table that made you want to make this play?

Postflop is fine.

No set? You sure. AA isn't a possibilty given the PF action we auto assume big ace is the only possibility.
