AA was my turn bet to much?

[CrazyOne]

Hi all long time lurker here looking to get back in poker and do better this time.

I do not have a read on MP. I was wondering if there is a better way to extract from this hand. My initial thought was to bet less on the turn maybe 1/2 the pot thoughts?

Nice hand, I play same. The only draw he can have here really is a gutshot, so I guess you can make a case for 1/2 pot, but I just fire 3/4th+ like you did, because often enough they'll call you with all sorts of garbage, especially at this level.

looks pretty well played.

i like betting larger in this situation- many people will peel with pairs + gutshots (ie. JT or KQ) in this spot. it also sets up stacks for a nicer river bet.
