I would never fold here with AA

i couldnt/wouldnt have folded  aces OR  qheens in that hand  :D

No fold for me either seem to play it perfect, if anyone calls your raise pre flop they must be on AK KK QQ, after the flop i can only see someome coming over the top if they was a maniac on the flush draw or they have hit trips and should of folded representing the strength in your raise.

I would of played it the same 8)

I don't think i ever would have folded really but i was definately thinking if i could lay this down and i was right it would be amazing.

I busted out in 18 after pissing away a load of chips in races. Annoying way to go after 4.5hrs.

don't think you could put them on a set the way they played it. most players would definately slow play that flop. you made mostly right plays i don't know about the re-raise on the flop though. i'd just call and see what they did on the turn. a big bet on the turn and i'm all-in pretty sure they're overplaying AK or something.

Difficult to put down but not impossible.

There's no reason to suspect QQ. He didn't raise preflop and just flatcalled your raise. Also, you can't really put him on TT, JJ, KK, AA for similar reasons.

By the time of the rereraise, I'd certainly be suspecting a set. Surely he wouldn't make the move with a flush draw. If he sees you reraising his flop bet, then he must suspect an overpair, and therefore a non-foldable (generally) hand. He'd probably slow down with a flush draw at this point.

I guess it depends on the notes you have on the guy. Also, is the table of a poor standard? Do you want to take the risk with the blinds still small? Can you fold and then outplay them?

Personally, I'd raise more preflop as then you'll get a better idea of his hand. He's much less likely to call with pocket twos or threes if it's a big raise.
