I think you played it perfectly. BB could be on a draw a combodraw or have AT. If he slowplayed aces or slowplayed TT so be it. Let me ask you a question what do you think you might have done wrong?

[jman3232]

I'm not quite sure, but when I look back the 500 seems too large.

[Larude]

The pot is 480, you raise to 500, don't think that is to large.

It's merely a PSB and it appears that you're going to get action so I like it.

[JammyDodga]

I think the bets maybe a bit big. You want to drive out the draws and get action from any Ace or better. (higher trips and your dead, but I go broke in that case 100% here as it would be almost imposible to distinguish higher trips from a good Ace)

The bet might be a bit big to get action from lower aces, which are exactly the hands you want hanging around. 400 would be just as likely to drive off draws than 500.

1 more thought, and I'd like peoples views on this. by the larger bet, are you signalling that you are definitely willing to go all in on this hand, i.e are you telling draws that you are giving them the implied odds they need to call?

I'm not sure it's relevant here, but I'm posing the question because I'm much more willing to chase with a draw if even though I don't have the pot adds at the moment, the flop and/or action indicates that if I hit my 4-1 shot on the the turn I'm going to bust someone.

the flop raise is good IMHO.your equity here huge, including redraws cutting down his implied odds. the all-in reraise more than likely a strong draw( some sort of combodraw) given villians FE. no, i think played it fine, sorry you were sucked out.
