Default Why I don't like slow playing AA

Couldn't stay away so I decided to play a sng. On the button with AA so I limp in hoping to get a raiser. No one raises so I push hard on the flop with K showing. One caller. Turn is a rag, I push. I get called. Rivered by a K. Out in 8th. Ugh.

Decide to hit the ring game. I think I do better at these anyway. One of my second hand I'm dealt 33. I just limp. Everyone around limps. Flop gives me a set. I bet the pot, get one raiser I push all in, get two callers. One guy flips a f'n draw, the other AA. I river a 5 for a full boat.

Added to put that sometimes limping is a good thing. About two hands later I get rockets. One of the guys I cleared out goes all in after I limp UTG. I call. He has AK. I don't think he was too happy. I was typing this up as I got AA and kicking myself for limping and then he went all in so it worked out.

Funny how a couple good pots can really help your head!
