22k gtd. AA facing heat vs. BB on J108r flop
 

im sorry for posting what might be considered fairly easy hands. i have been struggling as of late and am trying to fix some leaks. i know that many will say that i prolly bet too much on that flop and basically made myself pot committed. i guess i could of bet 375-400 into a 550 pot. ok, thats fine. once i get reraised pushed all-in by BB im getting ~2 to 1 on the call. is this a easy call considering i can't go broke here, and im maybe ahead? or am i not ahead? only hands i can put him on are JJ, TT, 88,J10 or KQ maybe. help me out here. thanks.

quick quick call.....I didn't read anything other than HH and I'd never fold in a million years

ok. i know im posting some lame hands. im just sick and tired of always busting with AA. im not as bad a player as some of the hands i post , i swear, lol. but i did call and he had J10. the reason i posted this was to see if anyone has different ways of playing AA. maybe i don't always have to lose big pots with AA, or win small pots. i dunno. but thanks guys.

Your being too results oriented. Of course, he could have J10, or something else that beats your AA. It's all part of his range. However, you are ahead of his range factoring in all the other hands he would play the same way. You have to accept that he was ahead this time, and not let it stop you from calling in the future. This is more like a range bad beat. If he had AJ, and hit a J on the river, you wouldn't second guess your play. Well, here, you call knowing that some of the time your AA is no good, but not enough times to justify folding.

tks bro i will admit i need to stop being results oriented. i know the correct plays but sometimes i start to second guess my self.
