Default NL400, right play w/ AA here?? (1st post)

I just sat on this table and had zero read.
Full Tilt Poker
$/$ No Limit Hold'em Ring Game
6 Players
LegoPoker Hand Converter

<font color="black">Stack Sizes</font>
SB: $880.85
BB: $553.6
Hero (UTG): $701.7
MP: $82.60
CO: $530.75
BTN: $1126.55

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> A A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($0, 6 players)
MP folds, CO folds, BTN folds, <font color="red">BB raises to $12</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $36</font>, BB calls $24

<font color="black">Flop:</font> 7 Q T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($72, 3 players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $44</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to $204</font>

What would be the right action here?


When a friend of mine introduced me to 2+2 forum, I have to admit, I was skeptical of how helpful this could be. When I first registered, all I did was read some posts on televised poker section or investing sections here and there. Then I found the master sticky thread in SSNL and those posts opened up a whole new poker world. Compared to my "gamble it up" approach, there was a scientific way of looking at things. I started to read more posts and searched for posts made by well known players. They were GREAT!!! They all certainly gave me new perspective on poker and made me realize what a fish I was.

Before joining 2+2, I played about 35k hands for about a year so, mainly for entertainment. Since I really got into this forum, I went over the hands in my DB to review things. I played in stakes ranging from .5/1 to 5/10 (I wish I read some of the bankroll mgmt posts) and I have many hands that I want to post here to ask for advice and constructive criticism. I am happy that I found this forum and to be a part of it by starting to post. Thank you in advance for all your help.

the size of his raise generally means he doesn't want action, and your hand fares great against his range of hands that want you to fold. Plus, people can play like idiots in blind battles.

If you wanna make life easy on yourself, raise it up more pf, then its much easier to get the money in on the flop as a big favorite becasue if he flops anything decent he will likely felt with so much in pf. As played, you need to get it in because its so drawy but he could easily have you crushed here.

ewww not in these steal positions/reraised pot/super draw heavy board, the Ad makes a small difference, and can even serve as a beneficial redraw.
