    Default TPTK gone wrong

    I am posting this hand just to look for a few pointers. I don't have the hand converter because I played this a couple of days ago and I cant seem to find it. I remember the hand very well though. I was at a
    .05 - .10 6 max table. My image was very tight because I had a couple monsters that I laid down. The opponent in the hand I face off against I have seen him with QQ, JJ, AJo, 10 8o. The hand went something like this..

    Hero is dealt Ad Kc

    UTG($32): Calls
    Hero($8.25): Bets .35
    MP($4): folds
    Villain($19.50): Calls
    SB($10): Folds
    BB($11): Folds
    Pot: $0.95

    The Flop-
    9d Ah 2d
    Hero: Bets $0.90
    Villain: Raises $1.80
    Hero: Calls $.90
    Pot:$4.55

    The Turn-
    Ah
    Hero: Bets $2.50
    Button: Raises $5
    Hero: Shoves All-in
    Button: Calls

    The River-
    8c
    Hero: Shows Ad Kc for 3 of a kind Aces
    Button: Shows Ac 9h for a full house Aces full of 9's.

    Just wondering if with the trip aces should I have folded the second re-raise. I put him on a flush draw and tried to drive him out with the shove. Anything there that I should have done different?

    It may be just me, but when I remember a hand, I have a really tough time remembering the stack sizes of all the opponents that weren't even in the hand... With that kind of memory, you should be playing 7CS imo.

    Anyways, the answer to your question, like many others, is it depends.

    If you thought that your villian was on a flush draw, then you should've 3-bet the flop, and tried to get it in there. Don't worry too much about trying to fold TPTK at the micros (and sometimes higher), it is very often the nuts. Move onto the next hand.

    On a not so side note, a min-raise is usually indicitave of a stronger than one-pair hand, in many cases a set. Just pay attention to the type of villian you have, and adjust to it!

    Edit: oh and don't play so tight that you are folding "monsters"... They don't have a better monster most of the time.
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

    Thanks for the advice. I guess I was looking at the min raise as week instead of strong. I'll keep that in mind next time I hop on the tables. Also thanks for the compliment on my memory, I really like math and numbers. Although I am not sure what you mean by playing 7cs, sorry if that's a nub question.

    this hand is utterly standard, and theres no way you should lay down AK here ever.
