On a scale of 1-10 how easy is this fold? On the turn I couldn't think of anything I was beating except AQ, which probably would have threebet me on the flop.

I think you can let this one go, but it isn't easy. Not with the crap I see people showdown on a constant basis. And, I think it smells like the one hand (AQ) you have beat. The second most likely is QJ.

I would never minraise preflop with AA... Actually, I would never minraise preflop.

oops... misread the hand. I still would have raised more preflop I think though.

He didn't. A min-raise would have been to 300.

Im not letting this go hardly ever. Im assuming you lost the hand as why you decided to post it here. At the lower buyins, the amount of time villain tries to semi-bluff here pays you off in the long run.

If he has two pair, set, or hits his draw then that's poker..
