Default Lost my stack with AA - comments?

Hi,

I think I played this hand reasonably well, but since I only recently stepped up from a lower buy-in table, I'd like others' comments. Thanks!

2-4 No limit, $300 buy-in at Foxwoods. I've been playing for about 40 minutes, have about $305. In LP, I'm dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Player two to my right (who has made a number of PF raises to 2 or 25 in the time I've been there) bumps it to 25. I reraise to 60. All fold, original raiser calls.

Flop:
4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet $100, he check raises to put me all in for another $145. I decide my pot odds exceed the probability that he has a set and call.

He flips over:
A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

The turn comes:
8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

and the river:
2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

and I lose to the gutshot flush.

Any comments on how I played the hand?

He figured his TPTK to be good and was getting all his money in one way or the other. This is a pretty standard bad-beat. I hope you didn't leave the table.

I wish I could have stayed. I had the cash with me for another buy-in, but I felt a little too on tilt to stick it out. I guess I need to work on that.

You played the hand real well(but u already know that), you just gotta work on not goin on tilt.
I think I read in one of Sklansky's books(i'm not sure which), it goes something like :- If i get drawn out on when im a favorite like (80-20), the way i look at it is outta hundred times im gonna lose 20, and I've just lost one, so im gonna lose 19 outta the next 99.
Its a very simplistic way of thinking and it most definitely stops me from goin on tilt ever.

Hand plays itself.

It could just easily have been you who backdoored a 4-flush.

Sure about that? Hero checkraises before flop. AJ is crap in those situations. After the flop hero says he can beat TPTK.
This is one of the most profitable sitations against the fish.

Is it called a "gutshot flush" because it feels like you were shot in the gut when it happens?

With rare exception there is no surer sign that you are losing player than benifting from this.
