Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think maybe you should fold preflop and probably fold with all that action post flop.

But maybe I read it wrong and I am incorrect.

He played AA badly by getting all his money in as a favorite?!??!

Pot odds.

In the small blind, I am getting 275:75 to call preflop and I am 2nd to last completing the action. I'm getting almost 4-1 to call here. There's no way I'm not going to see a flop here with my stack size.

As for the flop, I would have folded to re-raise if the short-stack didn't go all-in here, juicing the pot up a bit. This makes the pot about 1800 with 425 to call (About 4.5 to 1). Adding an extra out for my backdoor flushdraw and that's 3.14 to see the river for a 4.5 to 1 pot. Add in the implied odds of his stack and I'm getting at least +7 to 1 to call. Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with folding to his reraise on the flop.

On the turn I pick up a flush draw and he makes a laughably small bet (250 into like 2K).

Note: I would have folded to a re-raise all-in on the flop or a push on the turn.

1) minraising pre-flop (not bad but not great)
2) not pushing the flop (bad)
3) weak bet giving me the odds to draw on the turn (terrible)
4) not pushing the turn (terrible)
