1. Why such a small raise with the AA preflop?

2. Why didn't you reraise again preflop? It's very rare that I press the "Call" button with AA preflop.

3. Why such a small bet on the flop? It made you look weak and he pounced. I guarantee he put you on AQ or so...

4. If you're going to call his big flop raise (and then again on the turn), why not just push in?

I definitely would have played this hand a lot differently than you. Would it have ended up differently? Maybe, maybe not. But probably.

[rookette22]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing just now. But I think with his pair 9's + the fact he had double my chips; he would have definitely called no matter what.But then again we'll never know now.

Thing is I was prepared to go all in if I had to so I should've been strong enough to have done it myself from preflop. My bad. I still would've lost it was a losing hand; I'm pretty sure he would have gone all in.

[Talking Poker]

You can't raise with AA preflop (or get all your chips in) and be wrong. You always have the best hand, so it's never a mistake. Would he really have called off half his stack preflop with 99? Maybe, but I doubt it. When you make the big all in re-reraise (it would be the 3rd raise), he'd know he was in trouble. He might put you on AK and call, but even so, that's what you want (in the long run). At least then you would feel better about how you played the hand.

[rookette22]

Yeah you have a point there.
Feels even worse now. My own fault I lost it.
Ah well, better luck next time huh .
