worst played pocket rockets ever.

I should have checked and folded to one bet

No, no, no.

My main point of contention is everyone saying that the flop check behind really smells like a set. Perhaps I just play in more aggressive games, but from my experience, a 3-bet pre-flop and check behind on this board is more likely to be nothing or an underpair than it is likely to be a set. Sure, sometimes it's a set, but folding AA to one bet in this situation is just wrong.

I don't know if I could lay down there. Did she think you raised too many hands? Could she have also three bet with 99? Did she know what hands you raised with?

Preflop I do not think you made a bad play by smooth calling. She has position on you, so can check raise her on a later street. You could even bet get raised then check raise the turn or river.

I would check call and hope she overplayed AK or AQ.

I don't think you misplayed this hand.
