I'll try to keep this short. I am brand new to poker in general. I've only got about 500 (online) hands or so under my belt at this point and I been mostly reading and going over those ~500 games (which I've logged with Poker Office). There's so much information to take in and hard to get a handle on it.

In any even this one hand particularly pains me as it the first time (and only time so far) that I've gotten poket aces. I do know (even though I'm new) that hands like these lose all the time . What I'd like is an opinion on how I played it and if you think I was just muscled out, or should have made the call (I started thinking he had a set of Jacks when he bet on the turn). He didn't seem to be a particularly loose player to me prior to this point (but being new myself, my reads on player is somewhat inexperienced).

Play aces with real agression.

First of all, get that silly preflop min-raise out of your arsenal. A $1 opener at these stakes is usually good. Other posters may tell you to jack it up more, but I personally wouldn't unless the game was really out of control. Then you get 3-bet at again, you won't have position post-flop, and you don't close the action. Put in another large raise, effectively committing you to go all the way.

Post-flop, I really can't see myself laying down my hand here.. what makes you think villain has JJJ? IMO QQ-KK really fit the bill well here. Just figure out a way to get all the money in the pot and I think you are good here more times than not in this game...

Exactly what lukie said, raise 4xbb preflop, and post-flop there's really no reason to put him on jacks. kk/qq/aks/aqs/aj are all possible here in 25nl.

i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

O.K. Thanks for the feedback! I'd like to clarify this:

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by getting 3-bet and not having position?

Thanks!

Getting 3 bet = getting reraised preflop/postflop.

Not having position means that your opponent acts after you.

These are microstakes. His opponent could have as little as J-7 offsuit.

O.K. - got it. Thanks. At first I was thinking the statment meant that getting 3bet influenced my "not having position". I just got mixed up.
