Default Re: AA UTG beat by J3o (10x Raise by J3 Preflop)

I'm OK w/ the preflop play - his raise looks like a "punish the limpers" play from the big stack (maybe w/ a decent hand like a mid pair or big A) and is big enough to discourage callers behind especially the cutoff, I'm OK w/ the loose shortie tagging along, and it was a big enough raise to take away implied odds of his outflopping you. Plus, he's OOP and is likely to lead on a whiff or call you down w/ a weaker hand (per your read).

On the flop I raise to 2k to take away any drawing odds (in case his $100 was a block on a draw) and plan to shove the rest in on the turn unless he wants it in on the flop.

The shaking hands was a textbook Caro tell but I don't have enough live experience that I would have altered my play - I'd have bit too (for all I know maybe he thought his KK or QQ was good).

This was a good spot to try to double up - you just got unlucky.
