AA with scary board

I swear I will never min raise with AA again unless maybe shorthanded, so let us all agree I screwed up by doing it.

Would you play this differently?

raise to 300 pf. bet around 400 on flop and i would check-raise turn.

with the way you played it you must call. i wouldnt bet half your stack and turn and then fold to a reraise. if you really think that 8 helped i would check and see what he does

That's not a scary flop. Push the flop to protect against the flush draw and expect to take it down or to get a call from an over pair you dominate.

Is this pretty much the standard play with AA when the flop comes all undercards like this to just go all in?

Why did you mini-raise and why did you underbet the flop?

Turn bet screams weakness from you just so you now. If I am villian I am raising you 80% of the time.

well, I already said that I screwed up on preflop by min raising and promised not to ever do it again, so as not to have to explain why. I tried something different.

I thought this flop was okay for me so I bet that amount to take it down or get a little action.

JC_Saves · #10 08-06-2005, 11:48 AM

really, Why does it scream weakness? I am just trying to get you to keep coming along for the ride with your TT, JJ, AK.

Please explain why this is weakness and what you would do differently.
