Did I misplay AA here?

[LuckyTxGuy]

Thanks for the info guys. That is basically what I wanted to know. I should have pushed. I was just worried that if I'm already beat, why push? I guess that is a weak play, but it just didn't feel right. Too bad I couldn't have gotten all my money in pre-flop but I can't imagine anyone calling that kind of money at that table.

As for the folks talking about my short stack, I had just come off of a hand where I was dealt KK, raised it $25 folded to a young girl who said "I have a good hand but I should probably fold." Donkey next to her looks at her hand and says "Call him, call him!" I can't believe my ears, dealer doesn't say a word and she calls. I flop top set and she flops a straight draw with her pocket 9's. Hit her straight on the turn and busts me down big time. So that is why I was sitting on $75. Also, someone said to move down to lower stakes, I can't, that is as low as the casino spreads. I profited almost $800 over 3 consecutive sessions earlier in the week, so I'm still building the roll to play.

Thanks for the replies, your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Verbally announcing "200 behind" to the dealer (make sure he hears you) before the next deal is good as cash if you can't get the $ out of your pocket fast enough.

Have you considered playing online until you have the proper roll for the 1/2 game?

Why did she bust you?
The only way you could flop a top set and her - straight draw is if the flop came JTK.
With top set on such board - you have to bet the pot at least (which i am assuming you didn't since even the biggest donkey wouldn't call a pot sized bet with the ignorant end of a gutshot).
Then, the only way she could have made a str8 - is with a Q.
Why are you paying her off on a TJQK board? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
