Like I said before, I did not fear QQ at all. If the dude had QQ, well, here's your money bro, nh. I bet out on the flop knowing that UTG had QQ or KK, and I was going to live or die with my aces against him. He had been min-raising the entire night from UTG, and all of the sudden he pops it to $5 preflop? He definitely had a big hand. I wish he would have pushed preflop, that would have made this turn out a lot better for me, but you never would have seen this post then....

The guy in the CO, though, he took a while to call the $20 preflop bet. This, to me, was for sure a limped pocket-pair. Who calls that re-raise with anything but a pocket-pair? Then, when the CO took a little time on the flop and then pushed his stack after UTG pushed......I said to myself, "WTF? There is absolutely no way that guy is pushing over a raise and a re-raise without having a set." I knew the CO didn't have QQ, but TT and 33 were the only hands I could put him on. The only hands. And 33 it was.

Very nice hand George. Very impressive play throughout, especially the wherewithall to recognize that the 2nd push was an indication that your AA was no g00t, even though you didn't have to make it much more to call. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks. That said, I would have punched myself in the face if they would have flipped over KK and AQ. Then I would post the hand on here and get berated for throwing away AA with this huge pot in front of me, lol.

Maybe I should have posted the results later....wonder what would have been said then?
