don't shove on an ace high straight draw, probably.

It may be quite heartbreaking to lose or fold AA but Its about the money too u know.....
What im approaching is u must check at that flop and see ur opponent action its a very dangerous flop for ur AA...And i guess u may not be able to read ur opponent playing style because of zoom game...But it ok and the action u take after this kind of lose i what really important...😊

I didn't think this was a bad flop because there was no jack on the board. It is hard to put opponent on only 2 hands, AJ and J9. I also have 2 aces so it is less likely they are holding an ace too. There is no flush on the board either. I am so bad at identifying dangerous boards.

An AA can also lose...it is not always a winner. Thats why I prefer AK
