It feels good to be on the other side for once.

I knew he had AA/KK, so I figured I would drop it unless I hit. Now I know the mentality of the guys who do it to me. Not sure why he pushed over. He could have saved himself $77. Anyway, I tried playing this timidly expecting a raise at some point before the river. I think I should have bet higher on each street to get him committed more. 3/4 pot is best right?

That should teach him to raise properly preflop next time

If he reraises to 27-30 do you make the call preflop?

Man.. that was REALLY badly played by the villian.
Even a 3 or JUST an 8 wins this pot!

If I were Villian I would have check called the flop and turn and folded the river bet.

No. The fact that he reraise screamed "hey I have AA/KK!!!". The fact that he raised so low made me grab my tackle box.

The push on the end may have been an attempt to rep a runner-runner miracle flush - or perhaps he always slowplays AA like this and just hopes he can get someone pot committed, and that it holds up. Either way, the guy's not too smart.

That looks fine, except I probably bet more on the flop and turn. I'd want to give myself the best chances of getting him all-in on this hand if he actually has what he represented before the flop.

This guy is an idiot.

I think he's just a moron. If he's capable thinking on that level, he would probably also recognize the simple fact that his opponent is almost never folding here.
