But in general - if your read says AA, you and your opp both have huge stacks, and you are pretty confident your read is correct - then lay em down.
Yeah, I should have. After the destacking two days ago, I prided myself in laying this down from then on out.. but after that I had seen some people push with AK/QQ too, so that played in my head today. I've layed it down too in the past, when I did have a strong feeling (based on my read) that they had AA, but these both times I was only playing for 5-10 minutes so no such accurate reads yet. I guess I forgot to mention that.

I think from now on it's a lay-down unless I've seen this person push with lesser hands too. Starting the poker session with basically one buy-in down is really frustrating, it means I'll basically be playing the next hour just to recuperate it..
