Default HOW terrible is this? live loose game 1,2 blinds

Setup: I have been playing what appears to be very tight all night taking down some pots preflop and C-betting. Really only like 5 hands in 2+ hours. The game was fast and loose so i didnt need to play marginal [censored]. For most of the night i only had like $90 so i was just waiting for a good spot to repush on a pot with multi weak callers but that time never came. So i reloaded to 150 when this hand happend.

9 handed
SB post 1
BB ($140) post 2(ME)
UTG ($90) strattles
UTG+1 (has everyone covered 250ish) strattles
UTG+2 ($200) raises to 26
folds around to me with AA
I call
UTG+1 calls

flop 678 rainbow
I check
UTG+1 checks
UTG+2 bets 45
I push 110

My thoughts preflop were that the original raiser was a sudo maniac and made way over sized c-bets all night. like 50 into 35 pots but he was not dumb and would not go broke without a premium pair preflop he folded JJ earlyer to an AI of 60. So i checked the flop and repushed thinking i was going to get a call from his pair. I was a little worried about the third caller but didnt think he would check a set there and was really only affraid of a made straight.

I know reraising preflop is standard but when the field is so weak and will go broke with any top pair/ overpair off the flop is this really bad?


I ended up getting called by q9 off the double strattler and he hit the straight on the turn no biggie. But after playing the hand i wondered how bad i botched it. Raising preflop i take down 30 unquestioned. now that I think about it I probably just answered my own question ahaha anyway what do u think?

Don't post results.

Anyway, before I read the results, this hand looks well played against the described opponents. You let a LAG player get a lot of money in before getting your 75BB stack in with a hand that crushes his range. NH.

reraise this ALL DAY

I dont care whatever tricky game dynamic/ploy you thought up to justify not Reraising AA from the BB OOP.

Did you read the OP, or did you just see Hero coldcalled in BB w/ AA? With the description of the game and the guy raising the double straddle, I see almost no justification for 3betting except for shania. If you expect to be pulling a long session or are playing against a number of regulars, a 3bet/shove here is good so you can pull it off later on a steal. Otherwise, I play it the same.

if the game is loose and u can expect other players to call his raise as well u played it terrible.
ill have to play aces oop against 3 opponents.

btw isnt that one of the worst flops for aces? is a push really mandatory here?

Hand is well played. Don't second guess yourself because you lost this time.
