Played terribly I think.

1) Raise preflop for loads of reasons.
2) If you fail to raise then at least fold to the huge raise by the button. This is a really strong raise and IMO indicates real strength. This guy had AA and is looking to thin the field.
3) You then check/call all-in on the flop with nothing but A high! Exactly what do you hope to accomplish by doing this?

Jay,

What hand did you put the button on?

[Jay67s]

Granted, pre flop was bad, should have raised. That raise by the button I put as a steal. He was short stacked. I figured any pair or 2 broadways. He insta pushed the flop. I put him on a steal

[rubixstreub]

He's not really shortstacked, only down 1/5 of his starting stack...

To me that raise says JJ+ from someone who knows they can't let go of a premium pocket pair even if overs hit the board.

I don't mind limping AQo sometimes but I certainly don't call his raise.

Baby Jesus cried.... 3 times...

Don't call AIs with air. Your draw is NOT that strong and being AI means you can't fold him out with aggression.
You have 6 outs to a pair but I am not sure one pair will win. He may hold AA, KK. If he holds AA 3 of your outs are dirty. Fold.
