Very weird AA hand. Limping from the CO then min-reraising? I raised only to $10, looking back at the hand, maybe it should have been more like 12-13? I wanted manny to call though, and I thought 13 would be too high. Then pep called which surprised me a lot. On the flop I felt like I had to bet out to see where I was, whether I was up against AQ, KQ, or something that beat me. I tried to rep AK at the same time, sort of. I got called, and decided just to try and check it down. The turn definitely told me I needed to check/fold it.

How should I have played this?

I like the way you played this, I wouldn't make any changes.

You played it fine. Unfortunately it was the ugliest board possible. That fish got real lucky limp reraising like that. Even when he did hit, he played his hand like a bitch. If someone limp re-raises into my aces, he is gonna play for his stack. I like your reraise though, its quite strong and he made a huge mistake calling it with that garbage.

Yeah, In my mind I said as long as its not 10JQ all one suit, I'll bet 15 or so. Came as a shocker when it actually came out 10JQ.

Guess I just got unlucky, thanks.
