100NL 6max AA too passive?

[RED FACE]

My first serious 6max session. Reads are: all seem to be non-dangerous donkeys...

too passive? where to get more agg? When he checked behind on the turn I was pretty sure I had him beat but did I bet too little?

reraise to 8 preflop, bet more than 20 on flop, and bet turn as well -- its not scary!!
Diamonds, Queens, Jacks, are scary!
your line wasnt _BAD_ though just a bit passive if ur against donks =-D

Betting the turn would be an excellent place to start.

I probably would have reraised to 10 preflop. I think your flop bet was good. I don't know why you checked the 7 shouldn't be scary, it's bottom pair, and you likely aren't being called on the flop by a pair of 7s. I think since now you are starting a side pot you should put out a $35 bet rather than say 50 or 60 if nobody was all in. On the river I would probably have bet 50 after my turn bet, but here I think you should've bet out $30. If he has AQ or KQ he's going to call any reasonable bet.

Your line wasn't overly passive but you could've been more aggresive.

When I see someone min-raise PF I put them on trap hands such as KJ K10 QJ Ax unless their future betting shows otherwise. Add the fact that he called your flop bet without raising and your 6xBB PF raise... I see him with pair of Q's, decent kicker and in check-call mode thru the river. He could possibly be on a flush draw. I'd bet the pot on the turn. If a blank shows on the river bet the pot again. Please help if this is wrong. Thx.

Ok, thanks all. Full ring, backing off on turn oop w just 1 pair is a common play to avoid losing one's stack and to get a call on river - no good at 6max then. If I bet that turn and get raised I'm must be prepared to loose my stack, right?
