Hi guys,

It's my first post here, and I'd like to start with a question about Big Slick. I've just recently finished reading Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, so I've really been focusing on following up strength before the flop with strength after the flop, as well as keeping an aggressive game.

This situation happened at a $2-3-5 NLHE table at Bay 101. I had been playing fairly tight, but not my best game. I was UTG+2 for this hand, starting with $165. UTG+1 was an obviously very sharp player (as well as having a card dealer badge around her neck) and had me easily covered. I was dealt AsKs. UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $15. She had been splashing around a bit recently (though seemingly with decent hands), and I recalled Gordon's book saying that when you have a drawing hand, you want to try to win the pot right there. So I raised to $60, even though I mostly expected a call. Folds around to her, she thinks for a second, calls $45.

Flop is J-9-4 rainbow. She checks. I figure this is weakness, plus I've been a bit tight, so I decide to move all in. She thinks for a while, counts out $105, then calls.

Turn and river are blank-blank, she turns over T-T. As she rakes in my chips she says "I'm sorry but I really thought you had A-K."

So, my main question is, when is it good to move all in after the flop in that situation? Why could I not have been holding AA, KK, or QQ? Any ideas on what might have given me away? If I had a high pocket pair, would I have been correct to play the same way? Thanks very much!
