AA pushed too hard?

[Askilus]

Villian seems a bit loose, otherwise no good reads. $5 + $.5 at UB.

Did I pushed this to far on the river? I sometimes feel that I don't extract the maximum from my opponents with my powerhouse hands, AA, KK, AKs.

Btw, what's up with bisons converter? I get an 404 on the old URL.

First of all, not raising preflop is terrible. Not raising the flop is pretty bad. If you had done either of the above, the pot would be a lot bigger on the turn and pushing would probably be fine.

I can agrre that not raising PF is a big mistake. But on the flop, can you elaborate why it's that bad? The board isn't very drawish and I have position on my opponent. The big risk as I see it is that he slows down when called on the flop, and that I then are going to have problem extracting more money from him if he dosen't have a K. But what do I know?

The problem with not raising the flop is that you allow him to name his price for drawing out on you. It's very possible he hit the flop for a pair with Kx. Why give him such good odds to see the turn and possibly hit 2 pair or trips?

I would have raised pre-flop. Then bet again on the flop, to stop them getting a free turn card to make a possible str8 (if they are loose might have raised with J,10 to try and steal cheaply?)
Then all in on the turn, if it goes that far.

But I aint no expert!
