$25NL tough spot for AA

[SCBielski]

I don't have much of a read on our villain, but he appears to be a pretty standard TAG so far, maybe slightly more on the passive side. Comments on all streets would be appreciated:

Why is that a tough spot? really all you have is a bluff catcher.. but he bet really weak, if he has busted clubs.. u win. Checking when they hit is how most donkeys play hands though.. he prolly has an 8.

I think you played this fine. You got maximum value from bluffs, and kept the pot small in the likely event that you were beaten. The river bet is too small to fold to, and raising or betting doesn't make much sense because it's unlikely that a worse hand calls at any point.

Thanks, just wasn't sure if I missed some value.
