good play or bad play , What do you think?

Just looking for a few opions on a play I made last nite.

This is the lowdown.
9 seater table 25,00 starting stack.
everyone flat calls 300 blind.
FLOP Ah Qd 3d
Player under the gun bets 1100
I raise to 3,100 total
He re raises 8,000 total
I bet my last 20,000
He has me covered.

I had Ad,2d (aces with nut flush)
He had AcQc (Top 2 Pair)

My feelings were if he was bluffing I had the pot.
I also had a chance to push him off a mediocre hand.
Or as always draw out the flush.

I dont play much but enjoy the odd game.

I would like to get a few opinons of you think how I played it and how you would have played it.

Moving this to learning poker, because all you will get here is "fold pre".

Ummm....ok....fold pre . Seriously, playing weak Aces is generally not a good idea pre-flop. If you do play them, you want to play them cheaply. Yeah, once in awhile you'll flop huge, but even then you still gotta manage to get paid-off somehow. Much more likely that you'll miss entirely or hit your Ace and be stuck with a crappy kicker. Then what?

In this hand, specifically, UTG, after limping, comes out betting on the flop into a table full of limpers--unlikely he's trying to bluff the entire table. When you 3-bet and he 4-bets, if you had any doubt, he's serious about his hand. He's committed about 1/3 of his stack. He's not going anywhere after that bet. You should be saying to yourself at this point, if not before, that you're beat and your only outs are to catch your flush. It seems way early to be betting your tournament life on chasing down a flush, especially when you're apparently playing a table full of weak players who are mass limping pots.

fold pre and if you limp why would you raise the flop? it's a limped pot what do you expect him to call your raise with? You are isolating yourself only vs strong hands. Just call his bet with TP and NFD!

All 9 players limped in to 'see the flop'?
On a table where the play is sooooo passive like this, I don't mind calling the limp while 80bb's deep w AXs at all (think it's a no-brainer actually... & sounds like a homegame/kitchen table deal).

Yeah, no problem at all with the pre-flop play since it's a community pot and he has a suited Ax. It's his play after that where it all goes wrong, imo.

In general, I do not think that you can play with a weak ace, I always throw down if they feel there is no need to play with it, and almost always I find myself right and I do not regret that threw an ace, and most of all I hate A10)) is always with her losing . Generally unsure do not play.
