Played 800 hands tonight. Never lost with AA. Never saw a showdown with AA. I guess raising to $4 pre-flop discourages action. (Actually, kept getting callers but they folded to my C-bets).
Anyway, not AA, but check out this nasty beat.
Would you have laid it down?
Worst part about it was I went on tilt and lost another starting stack to this uber-loose donk (I had A5s, flopped an A and the flush draw, got it all-in against his AK and lost), then took over an hour to win my money back off him. At least he was interesting to chat with. Background: Villain limped or min-raised every hand for 2 hours. Every hand. He would occasionally fold to a raise, but often called a 3-bet pre-flop after limping.

It sure looks like he has the 3, but I'd already built the pot... and he could easily be bluffing. He has pushed with middle-pair on a scary board several times, and keeps getting callers with something worse. Something like 56 could be in his range here, not to mention two random overcards, or just A-high with a rag. iNano78 is all-In [$12.90 USD]

iNano78: amazing how you pulled out that 2-outer on the river with 63
joliveir: I have not won over $100 for nothing
Oh, and for the record, when we left the table > 1 hour later, I had a little over $62 and he had a little under $55...
