EDIT: But I do have a tendency to be facetious, FWIW

Take this to microbrew.

I don't like your min re-reraise.

I think after villiam limp-raises, you should put him all in or at least raise bigger ~3.50-3.75.

You should also not min bet on the flop or turn, it allows villian to draw or get to showdown as cheaply as possibly. That is the opposite of what you are aiming for.

i bet small on flop and turn cos i didnt want him to fold

Re: NL25 AA - Missed value vs shorty?
 

It is very unlikey you could stack him unless you get it all in preflop, because he can't like his hand very much if he is folding to your $1 raise into a $9.35 pot. Based on your bet sizing on flop and turn, you need to fix a lot of basic leaks before moving up to NL50. But I think there is not much chance you can stack him in this hand if he isn't even willing to call your river raise.

Re: NL25 AA - Missed value vs shorty?
 

You have to think about what he's limp raising with, then calling your 3 bet. Most holdings he is not able to get away from at this level.

Granted, he folded to your min-raise on the river, but I am trying not to be results oriented.

Also, please don't post results, it makes the replies biased
