Raise preflop!!

You went for a limp reraise and then had a seizure or what?
Pop it to 1200, then pot the flop. Makes things easy.

As you played it,........ ugh. He could have QKhearts, a J, or 33-TT. I probably lead for 2400 and fold to a push?
I don't know. I hate getting myself stuck, and I usually turn into a super weak-tightie when I know I've screwed up, trying not to let the errors compound.

You probably should have re-popped on the flop simply as blinds are so small relative to your stacks.

I know about the limp-reraise move, but I dunno what limp-call is with AA.

You probably should lead out at this turn since he might figure you're a donkey with QJ/KJ/AJ. (Probably s00ted).

If he has a J, he'll tell you.

raising preflop is a critical way of gathering information. by not raising preflop and then calling another's raise, you now have no idea where you are in this hand.
