You are tipping your hand by raising to 3$ every time pre flop with AA. Granted its unlikely the same players are gonna see you dealt AA more than once or maybe twice in a session so they might not pick up on it...but its just something to consider.


The first hand - if you're willing to call an all in, you might as well just push yoursel fwhen you're first to act. It's hard to tell you're beat there, the guy made a weird call pre flop and got lucky. When he smooth calls your flop bet it could be a set that you have to be careful of...Your turn bet looks good, if you are just betting it for information. He pushes over the top of you and you dont use the information you paid for (his push) to find a fold. I'm thinking he has a set from the flop when that happens and sadly letting AA go. Turns out he made a lucky two pair, but either way the turn says you're beat. If you were willing to call that, you should have been the one to push.

Second hand the guy made a bad call with the gutshot+overs and got lucky. To me you're play on the flop and pre flop basically says "hey man i have KK or AA, do you really wanna stay in this hand?" and he says "yes." So here i'm thinking he has a ten. He catches a lucky turn to make his gutshot, but i feel like i'm beat when he calls the flop already. You check raised the turn and he called...AA just isnt good here any more. But you dont figure that out for sure until the river, where he makes such a small bet, its hard not to call. Nh i guess, the guy got lucky.

If this lavalamp guy is real loose, i'd make the call too. He could have KQ, AQ, KJ and be putting a move on you...any number of hands that you have beat. If he's tight, i'm putting him on a set or QT and letting it go. Its a big checkraise, AA just looks bad against a tight opp when they pull a move like that.

AA is the hardest thing to fold, beacuse the hands that wind up beating it are the harder hands to detect like sets and lucky straits or random two pairs.
