Final Pot: $66.15
I have been playing for 30-40 hands and using GT+ to see what other people were doing. About the players in the hand, button is loose (plays 40% of hands), UTG very loose (55% of hands) and aggressive/bluffer, MP2 tight (19% of hands).
I was of course trying to trap with AA. After the flop I get 3/4 of the pot. UTG went all in and given the way he played earlier I assumed he's bluffing or has something weak. MP2 raising I assumed he had AK or KQ and was trying to protect his top pair and get others out of the hand.
Let me know what your feedback is. I usually raise with AA, but I just read a post here saying that limping with AA was more profitable for people on this forum so I had that still in mind. Thanks in advance for your help.
