Will post the result later..

I'm folding.

Bet smaller on the flop and turn. Potting the flop/turn only allows you to get called by a tighter range aka hands that beat you in this particular spot.

I just can't see him shoving over your bet with many worse hands, and it's unlikely villain limped a mid-high pair and is shoving over when you put on this much resistance.

It depands on the prior actions of my opponent. I would have played close to always if i had known that the opponent plays tight. And fold always if he is lose. but it is a hard one. That is always the big problem with AA

pretty torn on this hand.

in general i would bet less on flop and turn and i would be far less invested in this hand and would fold, as played i really don't know how many worse hands there are that we're a decent way ahead of.

So it really depends alot on the general player tendancies since we have no reads. back when i played these games there would be enogh worse hands here that i could call without hesitation, but nowadays people have tightened up more and there's way more regs out there than there used to be, so it's likely a fold. that card does help some weird draws with Ax that he could have here... it makes it so tough to fold here since we invested so much, so i really don't know as played, you have very few good options really.

It was a tough decision and I was tanking for a while contemplating a fold,but I did made the call after smelling something bit fishy about the villain move when looking at the middle pair on the paired board.

The decision to call was actually the right one lol,the villain however did tried to semi bluff with his flush draw by shoving the turn but at the end had failed miserably.

Well...
FLOP: Your bet was so high. I dont like to be commited so early in a pot.
TURN: When you bet pot again and the vilain raises you, you cantfold anymore. Too few chips behind to play, so you must go all in too.

I think this vilain is so weak and dont know how to play this game. Its a easy call to you. At least, its for me. Maybe in late game I could fold this, but I still feel unconfortable to spit it out against this clearly bluff.

I would never fold here, if you're beat then so be it, play another day. the chances he has a 9 are really low and no way in hell does he have a straight - at worst he has an under-pair to yours (maybe a boat but doesnt seem to fit the story all that well, and if he does then go and play another one), a bluff just seems more likely, and that is what poker is about; going with what is more likely the truth....good job
