I don't have the actual hands, because UB sucks and doesn't let you have HH open for more than like 20 hands or something now. Anyways, I hate playing AA like this, because I think it's donkeriffic, but I didn't know what else to do at this super-tight table ($50 NL). I have $84.25, villain has $35.05.

I'm in the cutoff with AA, it's folded around to me. I limp for .50. It's folded to the BB who raises to $2. I reraise to $6. He calls. Flop is:



He checks, I check. Turn is:



He bets $5. I raise to $10. He calls. River is:



He has $19.05 left, and checks. I bet $19 just to be an ass. He calls. I win.

Now, obviously, everything turned out great on this hand, but I get the feeling that this wasn't the greatest way to play this hand. I'll post the other on in a second.

I wouldn't have slow played after the flop (checking) with a flush draw on the board. IF he was on a draw and IF the flush hit, you gave him a freebie.

Here is the other hand. I have TT in the BB. My stack is $67. SB Has about $62, the other players in the hand have more than me. It's important to note that me and the SB have been sh*t-talking pretty much the whole time, and I promised him that I would stack him.

A guy in MP raises to $2, and is called by the cutoff and the SB. I call. Flop is:



SB checks, I check, MP bets $5, cutoff calls, SB raises to $25. I see my opportunity to stack the bastard, and I push all-in. MP and cutoff fold, SB calls with AQ and I win.

After the hand I realized it was probably not the best move. I guess if someone had KJ it was a decent move, but probably not so smart, eh?

I think you played this one just right.

What did he have in the 1st hand btw?

With the 1st hand, I probably don't reraise HU but simply call. Assuming he bets the flop, I raise big. If he checks the flop, I make weak, stealing bet to encourage him to come over the top or at least call.

With the 2nd hand, looks fine as I like playing sets HU if there is any action on the flop. I'd play the hand just like you did.

I think he had AT. Not positive, though.

What he said. However, I wouldn't slow play all that often when you flop a set. Your hand is very strong with the added bonus of it being well concealed.

Is limp-reraising with AA all that well-concealed?

He's quoting A-Ro quote of your 2nd hand and no, LRR with AA is not well concealed from knowledgeable players but newb might think you are trying to steal/resteal.
