Super duper ultra bad push, I know, but which play is better here? Opp is pretty loose, and also very aggresive. Likes to make moves.

800 preflop, why try to keep the pot so small with AA against someone whom you know is loose it makes no sense. Bet more on the flop too.

Haha at his turn bet, I can almost guarantee you he has a flush draw here and he's trying to scare you into not raising. People don't like to call all-in with draws so I'd raise him like 1000 chips less than all-in.

preflop was worse than postflop.

Your basic minraise would have been somewhat defendable if both the blinds were in the 4k range. But here u r just asking for the SB to come in for cheap and the BB might just join the party too.

AA is great, but ur asking for it to get beat playing it this way.

Anyhoo, if opp is loose and aggro, and ur not biting on that turn bet no matter what than raise him like 3k... or if ur being so tricky just smooth call.

800-900 pre, 2/3 pot flop, shove turn.
