Table had been aggressive so I tried to go for a CR PF. I am not sure if I should've just thought for lond and AI'd after so much aggression PF. Flop play is also something to think about..

Most of the time you are ahead on the Flop.

ONE OUTERS ROCK!

I'm going all in preflop to the reraises, it'll save yourself a potentially tough decision on the flop.

[Aquinas]

I'm also allin pf, but being on the flop I'm not letting this one go. Player one would do the same with AK or QQd or AA. He might even be a fool with KQ.

[Kraythe]

Reraise before the flop is certainly a good idea in this situation. Remember that at this point you have the hand won.

The other guy was a bit silly for going all in with a flush on the table. Anyone playing AQ AK AJ KJ KQ in diamonds is gonna spank him unless the board pairs.

[Pingviini]

No, he had to push in that spot IMO.

And yes, after seeing so much action PF I shoud've gone AI.

[jmontis]

LOL, oh boy

you were a 3.5% dog to win on that flop, and this is exactly why I prefer to get my money in preflop rather than postflop with big pairs. I find myself on the losing end of pushing postflop (and getting called) with AA more often than not.

After the flop, I prefer to play smaller pots with a big pair.... sometimes we need to be reminded hold'em is a 5 card game.

[Kraythe]

Reraise preflop

Agreed.
