    Default Difficult AA Hand: This one had me lost...

    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    9 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $155.73
    UTG+1: $104
    MP1: $118.55
    Hero: $100.50
    MP3: $114.75
    CO: $98.50
    Button: $65.85
    SB: $113.40
    BB: $100

    Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP2 with A A
    UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero raises to $5, 4 folds, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.

    Flop: K Q 9 ($20.5, 4 players)
    BB bets $10, 2 folds, Hero raises to $20, BB calls.

    The fact that he bet into me scared me, because i thought he might have KQ or K9 or something like that. So i tried to rep KK or QQ with my minraise to hopefully get a free card(?? is this right, do i want free cards here or want to not give them?), even tho i know it builds pot.

    Turn: 2 ($60.5, 2 players)
    BB bets $20, Hero calls.

    At this point when he led again, i thought it might be a flush draw block bet or still 2pr, so i called given that i have outs against 2pr.

    River: 6 ($100.5, 2 players)
    BB is all-in $55, Hero folds.
    Uncalled bets: $55 returned to BB.

    I couldn't think of anything i beat here.

    Results:
    Final pot: $100.5

    Def not sure of best line.

    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    I don't like the flop minraise. Raising to 25-30 gives you much more info about villain's hand. If he calls that bet, there's a good chance he has 99, KQ, etc. Also, if villain is on a strong draw here, like AcJc, minraising his flop bet gives him close to correct odds to call.

    As played, I think I take the same line.
