AA is usually a simple hand to play at $10NL. This is one of the few times where I had a tough time...

Roy-sChOuA is 24/11.6/1.7 over a good sample (Notes: Takes TPGK to the felt easily) Seems pretty loose, but solidly aggressive.
d1no5aw 36/0/1.9 over a small 55 hand sample..

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($4.20)
UTG =(Roy-sChOuA)/ ($14.85)
UTG+1 ($12.85)
Hero ($18.05)
MP2 =(d1no5aw)/ ($12.05)
CO ($12.20)
Button ($7.15)
SB ($1.60)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, A.
Roy-sChOuA calls $0.10, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.5, d1no5aw calls $0.50, 4 folds, Roy-sChOuA calls $0.40.

Flop: ($1.65) Q, 2, 7 (3 players)
Roy-sChOuA checks, Hero bets $1.5, d1no5aw calls $1.50, Roy-sChOuA calls $1.50.

Turn: ($6.15) K (3 players)
Roy-sChOuA checks, Hero bets $4, d1no5aw calls $4, Roy-sChOuA raises to $12.85, Hero...

My analysis. PF=Standard, Flop=Standard, Turn=Not so standard. My plan going into the turn was Bet/Fold. I didn't like the 3rd diamond, but a flush draw seemed to be a small percentage of the ranges. Like dislike the second barrel?? Any clue what d1no5aw has? Any reason to even think about calling here?
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

 I can't think of weaker hands that would call that flop bet and push that turn. Qxd is the only hand possible. Even if they had that hand, it's a terrible push.

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

I might not bet this turn.

Too much money behind and you're going to drive out worse hands and/or induce a bluff raise you can't call.

Tough hand because you didn't get a very good SPR on the flop.

Also, your seat selection sucks.

I folded grudgingly. As did MP2 after he timed down. The worst hand I can see Roy doing this with is KQ, but who knows, cause he didn't show.

I wasn't super crazy about my turn bet also, even as I clicked the button. I guess I just said that it'll be my last bet in this hand, continue my aggression, and see what happens. I didn't want to lose "control" of this hand, and I think that was my "big" mistake.

My seat selection had nothing to do with these two players. If I remember correctly I'm pretty sure that UTG+1 was the target at this table.

 not too many draws on that flop. Check-call turn if bet is small, otherwise check-fold
