I never said I played it right, just that in the situation it was not as easy decision. Had there still been 10 to go till the money I beat him in the pot. Since $50 is chump change to you high rollers what if the situation was in you satellite tomorrow and for 51st place you get a kick in the nuts but if you fold two more hands you go to the WSOP main event? I guarantee you don't play those Aces and if you do and bust out with them you will never forget the time you should have folded AA, never.
Granted $50 isn't the same as playing in the main event, but honestly it was important to me not to waste all that time for nothing, thats VERY frustrating.
All in all I like Blibitty's response best so far, there was not reason to call in that spot, all-in or fold should have been the options, not sure what I would have done when/if he bet at those diamonds if I had two black aces instead of the Ad. I am sure I would have called if he pushed me after the flop though and hoped for another diamond or hoped he was bluffing. In any event fold or push is what should have happened, call was terrible the more I think about it.
