    Default I have AA, the board is ugly and I face a small riverbet

    Opp seems like a bad lagg (read: donk), both pre- and postflop.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($19.38)
    Hero ($99.50)
    UTG ($97.81)
    MP ($54)
    Button ($92.82)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    1 fold, MP calls $1, Button calls $1, SB (poster) completes, Hero raises to $4, MP folds, Button calls $4, SB folds.

    Flop: ($12) 8, 6, 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $9, Button calls $9.

    Turn: ($30) T (2 players)
    Hero bets $22, Button calls $22.

    River: ($74) T (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $31, Hero calls $31.

    Final Pot: $136

    shitty, but for the price, you can't beat a call.

    I raise more preflop due to my position, but probably only by $1 or $2.

    I pot the flop. If hes got a flush draw he's calling anyway, and pretty much everything else barring 88, or a 6 (Which he probably doesnt have) should fold.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    I agree that I would probably raise to $5 or $6. Yes, you want action but you don't enjoy playing out of position. That flop is a great flop for you and sometimes I would even overbet this flop not so much to protect my hand but to commit myself for the turn bet. I want him to have to put up a significant amount on the turnto chase and make missing +EV for me. Very bad card on the end but at worst he couldve called you down with 8x.
