Default Re: AA did i play this hand right

Wow.

At these stakes with 7 players and being OOP post flop, I think we need more information to make well reasoned comments.

In general, I think you raised MUCH too little preflop. If anything, I think overbetting a little to make it appear that you have AK and don't want a caller would be much better than raising to just $80.

After that, you bet $100 on every street as a kind of blocker/pot-control device. It worked. I would tend to bet more on the flop, c/c the turn, then block the river as a default line. Or, as an alternative with the draws that are available, I might lead the flop and turn, then c/c the river to induce bluffs from missed draws.

However, both lines are fairly obvious and therefore easy for a very good LP player to exploit. That's why reads would be so important in this hand.
