Very bad play with aces. You show no aggression and there is no info on the villain by being a calling station.

3bet pre. bet flop bet turn

If you are slowplaying AA, you should never fold unless it's a 4 card straight or flush. The thing I see is there's only one reason why you don't raise AA and that's because you want to trap. KKx flop is still a good flop because just slow played it

Realistically, what hands could you have that he would over bet? I don't know what it could be or what hand he thinks you have...

fold the turn card, he has KKK from the psychological standpoint he is in.

Very badly payed.There must be aggression with such a card.But you have a very passive game.

1.only thin I see him betting so aggressively are K8+ and thous hands are well within his range of 2.5bb steal from BU. So unless he has shown to be a uber-aggro palyer able to bet A high here it's a good fold. You surely will be folding here to some storng pairs tha he can fold but it is more likely he is value betting a set than bluffing(if you have no read ofc.)

2. and yeah. I have to agree with everyone here on the call from the SB with AA as being just terrible. You let some wired hands get in, and you really dont want your AA beat buy something like 56o. In addition your raises from SB will often look like resteals so again just calling is bad PRF and on the flop. You either raise (and bassicaly play for stacks) or fold.

Hi jvkalis30

Theoretically will be incorrect slow playing AA here preflop most of the time. As you need to build your 3betting range up to 16% pre-flop. If he steals a lot, you will punish him by reraising and he will have hard times defending a wide range.

Your play is good postflop. Good fold on the river.

Good luck!

3betting 16% at 2nl is going to be high variance and not necessaily good advice against players who can't fold and for a player whose postflop skills may not be up to playing that wide a range in 3bet pots postflop.

I think is good fold. I will put him on a K or 55, because he always bet. If he's weak probably he will check river.

I'll agree with the rest that you had no info on this player because of your slow play. A re-raise with KK on the flop may have induced a fold or another reraise, either way at least you have a better idea of what he's got. Yeh, sometimes you gotta fold those bullets, as painful as it may be.

I don't hate the fold on the river, but it's only bc I hate the way you got there. Limping with AA ??!

Okay you did, but after the flop you have to re-raise his bet if you aren't going lead out with one. If you were trying to trap him that was it right there his little flop bet . Better off 4 bet preflop, if your intention was never to call it down. You get info from betting not calling.,

But AA is personal killer for me. They get cracked more n my breakfast eggs!

I think slow playing AA is a mistake resulting from greed. People are afraid to raise preflop due to fear of everyone folding, but after the flop aces many times have to swim in murky waters, and you could end up calling or raising better hands and losing money.

He had to raise on the flop, to get some reading of his hand, to see if it was real enough, to call only does not get any information.

You could not have played AA that way. But on the river it was easy Call.
If he had K, he would never have played it that way, I suppose, unless he was a recreational player with no technique.
