No fear poker..

i dont see anything wrong with thisplay, you were aggresive, he payed you ff and you won the hand. maybe you should do this more often. although raising preflop may have helped out a lot

it looked good overall , you were aggressive but not TOO aggressive , just right mate good thing he didint have 54 eh!..lol

I disagree with your pre-flop play but there are two ways to look at it.

1) You were in early position, and if it was an aggressive table and there is a strong chance of a bet after you for you to raise then this is a decent play.

2) AA is only a pair, and it is very difficult to lay down to a raggety draw. The way that you played allowed anyone in the hand (especially in the blinds) to limp in with complete garbage and catch.

PrimericaKid and CdnEarl could have had anything. Without your raise pre-flop how can you have any idea what to put them on? luckily you had them both and the raise was definately needed on the flop. However, when you do take the lead, any of them could happily check their way to a healthy sized pot with the nut hand and break you.

Your post flop action to me is fine. You bet hard however if you face a re-raise you have to lay down your hand. Luckily with Earl flat calling, you can milk his top pair. I would probably have checked the river just in case he was slow playing a monster - but thats just me.
