I'm generally not a fan of limping pre with AA but it looks ok.

[maldini32]

I prefer check raise on flop, get more monies in the middle.

Simples.

I lead weak hoping for a raise from getting daize- I think if he misses I may actually get a raise

[T_Mar]

dont think its bad (after you limped) but I would maybe check/call river - might get worse to bluff at the 2nd Ten i dont think you miss much not betting and could risk getting bluffed of best hand if he's very agg ??

I wasn't sure what to do on the river- was a bit of a defensive bet- think if I check he bets way more on the river then I have a tougher decision

[MANTIS01]

If you've been active there seems much more value in playing the bully yourself pre rather than limping and hoping somebody wants to bully the CL at the table for 150 chips extra and then through the steets.

[LaggingBehind]

After he calls the flop, his hand looks like a weak T or maybe FD - how about a check raise on the turn? If you check the turn, he is likely to try to take it down. The flush draw hasn't got there and you are likely way ahead at that point.

[outragous76]

i check the turn with a view to ck raising all in.... or if he checks behind keeping it small if a scare card comes on the end.

BTW - WTF is he just calling with on that board!

Just unlucky i think!

But raise next time!

[George2Loose]

agreed c/r turn looks consistent with the line I've taken

thx guys

Surely if we're limping pre and then someone raises we've gotta 3bet this as we can never look that strong ?

Yeh this is what I thought- if I 3 bet it's gonna look strong.

The lead on the flop was supposed to get raised- pity he flopped a piece cos I thnk he certainly would have punished the "weak lead"

Not necessarily if you limp/3-bet a serial limp bully. That could just be good poker.

I really don't he would 4 bet here which is why I flatted. If I 3 bet pretty certain he would just give up
