Raise pre. Raise flop (draw heavy). Shove over his turn bet (you have very little left and are calling river or shoving anyway).

You have to thank the poker gods your hand holds up.
See many things AA busts.

UTG raise looks strong so I would 3-bet here in MP.
Calling here is dangerous I think because you could easily face 4 opponents preflop, especially after the button calls.
BB gets a good prize to come along.
As played I would reraise flop, but personally I also don't mind calling because UTG does the betting and I think , looking at his pre flop raise, flop is likely not very helpful to UTG.
What worries could be the button, because they called pre and could easily have hit the board (set, straight draw,flush draw).
Turn I would just shove.

Just my 2 cents.

3bet preflop, bet the pot on the flop and shove the turn.

You gotta raise this preflop and lost a lot of value by not doing so. After that the hand plays out differently so there is really no point in commenting on what you did.

Better way to analyse your hand is to tell us why you played so passively with AA? Were you trying to slow play. Did you think the opponent didn't have a set or straight draw in the flop?

There is no right or wrong way to play a hand especially in cash games. So as the most obvious play here would be to 3bet pre flop but there is nothing wrong in slow playing such a huge hand once in a while. After the flop also there was no need to 3 bet because your slow play pre flop helped you on such a dry flop for Aces. You just had to call him off which you did. So all in all well played. Had the board not been paired on flop then you should consider a raise according to me. Also slow playing pre flop from middle position can induce a 3bet from late position, to which we obviously 4bet.

there is something wrong with it in that you give connected cards, and low pairs and junky hands correct odds to call and out flop your aces.

You should have been raising at every card.
This is exactly how NOT to play poker.
You're just waiting for that straight to hit someone else.

You shouldn't be calling preflop, you risk of going multiway to the flop which hurts your equity, so 3-bet pre and c-bet the flop. I think you have to fire another barrel on the turn and probably check back such a nasty river.

How exactly did you get lucky? You were lucky that he had such a hand and not a straight, but on the turn he has a gutshot straight and two 8s to improve, so only 13.6% of the time will he beat you on the river. No miracle that your aces held up.

The best part about your thread is that you're asking questions and welcoming feedback.

That openness and willingness to hear other's analysis will go a long, long way towards improving your game.

Paws up for that.

My opponent played slowly just like me, that's why I dared to play like that :D

Thanks for your comment, those words are so beautiful to me. I'm trying my best to improve my game and I always try to hear other's analysis but I won't follow 100% their way, I'll create my own way with everybody's advises. :D

For exemple (me) :

As-Ah

Pre-Flop : Raise 2 * BB
Flop : if someone raise, I'll raise / If nobody raise Raise BB
Turn : If someone raise, All-In / If nobody All-In :D
River : No, because everybody folded haha!

3-4bet is good choice with AA on preflop.

I think should have made a reraise peflop 0.60 dont make it easy/cheap for other playes to see the flop. There are four other players having to react on the raise from you giving you 55, 8 % winning chance.

First fold gives you 63.8 and second fold gives you 73.5%.

If there is only one player left at the table to see the flop your winning chance is 85.2.

After the flop you still hold a good hand but the flop did not improve your hand anyway odds says raise again.

Be aggressive with pocket aces
