    Default AA no good?

    No real reads on villain in early stages.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($59.60)
    MP ($49.25)
    CO ($78.06)
    Hero ($46.50)
    SB ($69)
    BB ($40.82)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, A.
    3 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, BB raises to $3.25, Hero calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($7.25) 4, T, T (2 players)
    BB bets $3, Hero calls $3.

    Turn: ($13.25) K (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $9, BB calls $9.

    River: ($31.25) Q (2 players)
    BB bets $20, Hero??

    Ok, I'm sure most of you will say re-raise pf and I admit that could have been my downfall in getting caught up in all this. Didn't see the point in raising flop, hoped he would fire again on turn. The more I think about it, the more I think he has KK with that donkish min-raise pf. Thoughts?

    You have messed up this hand so badly you may as well call (and I am not kidding). You know you should have 4-bet preflop especially at 50nl.

    I would call because you played it so badly -- youa re only beat by a 10 or AJ/J9. Someone with KQ may think they have it, but you'd have Aces and Tens. I don't think he has a 10 the way he played it, so I would only be fearful of a straight.

    4 bet pre, re-raise flop, bet pot turn, call river

    I definitely prefer a large 4bet, since his 3bet was very small.

    But if you don't 4bet PF you have to make a large raise on the flop. You would still be getting called by J-J - K-K, which make up way more of his range than 10-x.

    You also aren't getting much more value out of hands that missed the flop, since you are holding 2 Aces and therefore there are only 5 cards that can come (3 Kings, 2 Aces/4 Kings/1 Ace) that will give you more action. Smaller pairs aren't putting much more money in either, and IMO the flop is the best place to put them in a position to make a mistake.

    As played it is very tough not to put him on 10-x or better and i probably pitch the hand without any reads.

    Idk, this is close, 4betting pre is obvious as hell, but your hand is totally underrepped.. but you don't really beat much.. fuck knows man
