    Default Is this AA a little too slowplayed?

    I had just joined the table 2-3 hands prior and my first post hand in the CO was AQ so I raised it 6x bb after 2 limpers...got one, probably strong hand caller with position on me and I check-folded the 422 flop.
    Then I catch a monster preflop with not much to speak of in the way of action before me - I raise appropriately and the monster stack (no reads but probably a bit loose) calls preflop.
    Flop is non-threatening and I'm putting him on KQ...he probably has KQ
    with the K of hearts based on his turn bet - call it gut feel. My smooth call of his reraise ...then he puts me allin on the turn - he wants me to go away, so I don't (with my overpair probably best + the 8 card outs).
    Would you normally bet the turn here? I am banking on the fact that he has a good heart here, and that he doesn't have a set, owise he may just check the turn and then I make very little (or probably zero if I bet the turn and am not reraised) on the river...

    Anything misplayed here? I'm a bit toasty and the mavs one so double-that for aggression/trickiness

    No hindsight for the blind.
    I think I make it something like 1.40 on the flop and reraise all in if he raises me.

    As played on flop I lead turn and call his AI raise. If he smooth calls turn, needless to say I'm all in on the river.

    Edit: post nr 200, yay me.

    I'm going to go with probably holding KhJh or KhTh with him having the neutical flush draw and an over card to the board along with backdaw straight draw.

    His bet at the turn indicates he has most likely hit his flush and with your play probably puts you on Ax offsuit and probably the Ah given staying in with that draw heavy a board.

    Well you have the nuts on the river!

    The flop is read dependent... Most likely I would have just pushed over his reraise. 70% of me thinks you were beat on the turn.

    Hmmm...not sure why I posted this one except for the booz lol.
    Probably just got lucky here but I really felt like this guy wasn't on the flush draw and was more likely on top pair...I was just curious how many times opponent smooth calls vs. folds vs. reraise/pushes the turn if I bet vs. check-calling, with a strong feel that my hand is best + the redraw...

    Results:
    Button has K Q (flush, king high).
    Hero has A A (flush, ace high).
    Outcome: Hero wins $19.45. Button wins $1.10.

    you had the nuts - so obviously you won the hand. I would have reraised the 3 dollar raise on the flop since he will call and most likely you're ahead
