AA hand that's been on my mind

[SonOfWestwood]

PartyPoker NL25 hand I had from yesterday.

MP3 has ~50 and super loose. Numbers are ~60/20/3.
SB has ~30 and semi-loose passive. Numbers are ~25/3/1.

All comments appreciated.

I have AA UTG+1 and raise it to 1.5 (my standard open).
MP3 min-raises to 2.75, SB cold calls.

What's my move here? Should I have put in a third bet because of the extra player? I just called the raise, planning on check-raising the flop to get extra money in there.

Flop (pot ~8.5) KQ8r

SB checks, I check, still planning to check-raise (should I have bet?), and MP3 checks (great!).

Turn (pot ~8.5) T (forgot suit, but not significant)

SB bets 3, I raise to 8, MP3 folds.

River (pot ~24) brick

SB checks, I push for ~12 more, SB calls.

Honestly, your line is gross. Yes, you should have put in a third bet pre-flop, for several reasons...

This is the only point during the hand that you KNOW you have the best hand.

You can push pre-flop (or make some other large bet) and get action. I know they are loose, but you have a reraiser, and someone who cold-called two bets, they like their hands.

Like most people, you seem to have trouble getting away from AA at any point during the hand. It seems unlikely that you could get called on the end by a worse hand.

This is NL25 and your opponents will do ridiculous things, mainly because they are playing only their two cards, don't get cute. Get your money in when you know you are ahead.

Make it $9 to go preflop and hope to get heads up with MP3. With AA, I'm doing anything I can to get all-in preflop with one other player.
