More Agressive?

[72bluffer]

I know I should of be more preflop, but should I continued to be agressive with the str8 draw?

I had AA

You really screwed the pooch pre-flop. Any 2 practically has implied odds to call 1BB more.

[UG]

You should have pushed more preflop. You know that already. If you would have, maybe they would have respected your $2.50 raise a little bit more after the flop.

Because you didn't, you had guys with J8 and KT stay with you. The J8 guy hits two pair, KT guy hits TPGK, so they both think they're sitting pretty (J8 actually *is* sitting pretty and should have reraised you).

Without knowing what cards those guys had, I'd say you made a pretty good stab at the pot, so your aggression was good....but it didn't help you much because you didn't raise enough preflop.

I am an idiot.

YES U IZ, HE HAD AA U SILLY FOOL.
