    Default $16 - How not to play AA?

    Is the turn check terrible?

    BTN: t1500
    SB: t1500
    BB: t1500
    Hero (UTG): t1500
    UTG+1: t1500
    UTG+2: t1500
    MP1: t1500
    MP2: t1500
    CO: t1500

    Pre Flop: Hero is UTG with A A
    Hero raises to t80, 2 folds, MP1 calls t80, 3 folds, SB calls t70, 1 fold

    Flop: (t260) K Q J (3 players)
    SB bets t80, Hero raises to t340, MP1 calls t340, SB calls t260

    Turn: (t1280) 3 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 checks

    River: (t1280) A (3 players)
    SB bets t1080 all in, Hero folds?
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    I would not raise the flop on this board. That must be one of the worst boards possible for AA and you have MP1 still to act. I would just flat call and see what happens.

    As played, I think the turn check is good and I too would fold the river. I can't see too much that you beat open shoving the river into two opps, one of whom put a BIG raise in on the flop and the other who cold called that raise.
