My donkey thinking on each street:
Preflop: I was thinking this is such a good drawing hand and with no low card I don't necessarily want to limit the field and try to have my AA hold up, just seemed like a big pot hand. Given the position of the pfr I think a reraise was in order.
Flop: I wasn't sure I had an equity advantage given that any card that doesn't pair the board puts a straight or a low out there but I guess with that number of players out there was value in 3-betting.
Turn: I really should have bet out the turn and would have done so but I think I was playing too many tables and steaming because the Party SNGs were down again. Betting out gives me a chance to protect my hand since the Lag will raise for sure.
River: Fiacso, very astute on your river, I would have raised a board that put only one straight out there but with that number of callers I was questioning even over-calling which was obviously correct given the odds...results to follow.
The lag (75/15/2.4) on my left really took a toll on me in this game. I don't think position was the problem as he was usually just isolating himself against me when I had better cards but he sure did catch and I had trouble giving him credit for a hand:
