It sounds to me like your real problem is your table image. If you're going to let people slap you around, you're definetly sitting at the wrong table. I'd say reraise a little more heavily there. Not quite 200. More like 150. Then, dependent on the number of heads in the pot, lead w/ a bet, or check raise all in on the flop.

it seems to me that you were asking to be bluffed on the river, i like preflop and flop play, however i think i would've pushed all in on the turn and just pay-off the 89, 88, or 99.

If I was you I would bet all in pre flop, not re-raise. Why? Because y have AA, becouse y have few players who called raise and if y bet preflop allin y are favorite anyway, so I dont find any reasons why to raise to 100 and not to allin! In case if y had 2 way preflop then its ok, but y had few callers.. Its my opinion. This guy maight had AK. And y should definetly play stronger on flop.

Wow, that's a little weird, I played an AA hand from the BB with a K98 flop yesterday too... the flop was K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], I bet the flop someone came over the top and I folded, not worth posting, but almost the same hand, AA in BB, k98...

If I was villian in this hand it would look to me that Hero has QQ, so it would not take a set for me to push ya all in there. Also, if I had a set I wouldn't just push all in when you check to me on the turn, I would bet about half your stack and try and get some value.
Villian didn't show you anything to let you know your Aces aren't good, so why check the turn? He called the flop so you were checking folding the turn? Or you call a smaller bet? Call the turn.

all right i will assume that all opponents have you covered.

there is 87 in the pot when it is hero's turn to act. if he calls the raise there is around 100 in pot and 4 people to act. thus he should make the raise to 100 for a decent pot sized raise. since there are so many callers, at least two, i would assume would call, as EP would probably call, creating a domino effect of calling. by betting only 80 more, villains have proper odds for catching a set, especially since hero's hand SCREAMS AA.

thus after reading the hand again, i would have to say raise to 150 instead of 100 preflop.

once you're in there with that hand, bet the crap out of it. if i understand correctly, you folded for 400 dollars in a 1300 dollar pot, getting 3-1. you have to be PRETTY damned sure he has 88/99 to fold there i think, and you're not in too bad shape if he has two pair. and that's also why you raise more pf to price them for their set draw for times when you have AA and they don't catch.

My preflop raise to 100 would give improper odds to call with pocket pair as the pot would be laying 5½-1 assuming everyone calls.
