Why did you check the flop?

[youthies]

Yeah, it was one of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" moments. The table was aggressive, and I was planning on a C/R, but when UTG's push was called, I wasn't sure on what to do.

[Quester]

I see. Well, in the future if you're the ultimate aggressor preflop you're usually best off leading the flop.

I'd call this without thinking about it. If one of them has a set, then so be it. There's dead money here.

Ditto. Do not check this wet flop with an overpair, ever.

Unfortunately, regardless of how you play this, you're going to be in an uncomfortable situation. Pot the flop, and if you get RRAI, you'll be getting seemingly attractive odds to call.

The preflop play in this hand is atrocious (not yours).

I give little credit to UTG in this spot. Yeah, it's a tiny sample size, but his PF aggression makes me go hmmmm. I think it unlikely that he's got a hand that beats you.

Once CO calls, he's not got enough behind to fold. I'm guessing he's not giving UTG much credit either - and he's getting correct odds to draw to a flush, and nearly correct to draw to an OESD.

As played, this is one of those hands where I'm going to have a hard time letting go of AA. If I'm beat, oh well.
