For one, never min raise when your 3betting (the blinds are the first bet, his raise is the second, your reraise is the 3rd bet). I make it 1.20-1.35 pf here. On the flop im making my standard 3/4 pot continuation bet, i do this with my monster since i do it with air all the time too. After he reraises you, he usually has a hand he likes and since this flop has some draws im going to reraise him back to about $5-$6. If he has been extremely aggressive you could just smooth call him and let him hang himself, but i tend not to on this flop. The turns a great card for you, it completes the flush draw, gives you a boat, and if he had a jack hes probly not getting away from it. Checking here is ok. On the river i just stick it all in, you only have $5 behind and theres already $7.70 in the pot. I dont like leading weakly into the river unless you know hes aggro and will come over the top of you when you show weakness, but i think you need to have more behind for that.

 It's sick if he has JJ

You should be betting $1.50-$2.00 on this flop and if he raises you should be pushing all-in.

Im guessing he does have JJ by thread title, youll never go wrong getting it all in with a set of aces though, especially when you fill up.

PS: dont listen to spendas advice

PPS: We should announce are HU extravaganza so everyone from FTR is watching like the ever popular gabe/sauce match.

Oh sorry, yeah. I had AA, he had JJ. So I wasn't agressive enough on the flop then? Or just not aggressive enough period? Was it too late to fold on that turn when the J came out?

Your bet sizing just wasnt large enough. And no, you should never fold here. It would be a HUUUUUUUUUUGE leak if you ever even thought of folding aces full.
