i think u lost the minimum amount om that hand. if ur opponent would have had ur hand he would lose more. so u win.

He would have raised preflop and K7o never sees the flop. That's kind of the point.

Anyone who plays K7o willingly is probably gonna play it through a PF raise

So you advocate the open fold preflop?

I'm dumb. I didn't see that K7 was the BB, despite him being labeled as BB on every street. Man, this is one of the worst beats I've ever taken.

Here is the Rule of Limping Aces.

Should your opponent limp AA, you will be trapped and lose the absolute maximum. Examples of this are: You have QdTd in the BB and the flop is Q-xd-xd. Or you have QQ and the flop is T-7-3. Also, if you do outflop, they will resuck. They will hit their river A if you have 88 on a Q83 board. They will hit the river Q if you have 55 on a QQ5 board. They will counterfeit your 2 pair if you have T9 on a T94 board.

Now, should you limp AA, your opponent will hit the exact flop so that you lose. This will almost never be a "scare" board. Examples are: q6 on a Q62 flop, or K7 on an A777 board.
