Why not 3-bet flop? That's a drawy board and you hate a lot of turn cards.

yeah 3 bet flop is my standard but tried it different this time

ehh think id rather just get it in on the flop and charge him to draw here im assuming that is a decent part of his range and prob some 9x hands and worse overpairs which he prob isnt folding anyways so why not just get it in on the flop?

Your turn stack a donk is fine, but I gotta agree that the flop was 3-bet time. Especially with 2 clubs on board and the villain seemingly showing interest in getting it in right there.

As played, I wouldn't want to see a club no matter what because either he's got 2 of them or will shut down when he sees a third one hit the board.

Lastly, why the big raise preflop? I know its normally 4BB + 1 for every limper, bringing you to about that amount, but with rockets, I might have left it at $2.50 - $2.75. $3.50 at NL50 will usually get you a bunch of folds here and no value for you AA. $2.50 to $2.75 will bump it up to a decent starting pot, and knock out the garbage, without scaring off the broadway hands. As played, I'm surprised you got 2 calls preflop.

It's so gross if the turn goes check/check with that board. I take this line a lot on drier flops though.
