AA against a very bad board

[BullGator]

I am very new to non-tourney no-limit outside a B&M. It is hard for me to tell if I am pressing or just foolhardy. I had played about 20 hands with MP1 and he seemed pretty tight so my read was he had a larger pair. I pushed all-in post flop, but realize I may have way overstepped a small advantage if he did have KK, QQ, JJ.

I think you should muck the aces (and swallow your vomit). You're (very often) a slight favourite or a huge dog.

raise more preflop(like 24ish).

as played, fold flop.

if you had the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], it would be a lot closer, i think i'd call then but im not sure.

EDIT: im confused on the flop action. i think the converter messed up.

If he had the Ac it would be an easy call, imo.

All, hero pushed on flop...
To OP, reload pf, as is, you should be raising to ~35 pf and pushing any flop, even this one. As played, I would make a ~20 bet and fold to a push by villain. if he calls I would shutdown.

All--

Thanks for the feedback, I think I was a little aggressive. I like all the options given and do see I could have definitely played it differently.

The Preflop we he raising the blind to $9 and Hero rising that to $18. Villan called.

I agree going to $35 would have been easier for him to put me on AA and enough worry that I had Ac to fold.

Raise more pf, yada yada.
Don't fold the flop.
