You're going broke, but you should have got the money in on the flop if possible.
Definately reraise him rather than "slowplay" your monster

There's no way you throw the second nuts away there, he's not even raised preflop so even assuming he has trips you are still beating 2/3 of his possible holdings.

I would have raised the flop there because:

There's a fush draw there and you could have been giving him a free chance to hit that.

If he has an overpair maybe 99 or TT, then he would have given you a lot of action on the flop but be scared by an overcard.

Even if he is holding lower trips or as it was AA, if another heart comes he may put you calling on flush draw and fold.

i raise that flop.. FD + SD possibilities there. If u flat out call, u give implied odds for BB to chase draws to fuck u up. If u just flat out call and BB chases with a SD and hits it on turn, u will lose ALOT of money.

Also raising here u can weed out any strong hands that are in play and get them to put there money in on the flop before the board gets to scary for them to be putting money into. If someone has 2 pair or another set here, or even a overpair u want them to get there money in right now on the flop. If u wait for the turn, or river to raise them and the FD or SD completes on the turn or river, then all the money is gone - Your opponent will stop betting and even start being afraid to call raises.

on this hand i probably raise it to 60 cents on the flop

LOL....my re-raise to $2.60 was supposed to be all in but the slider wasn't all the way over like I thought.
And thanks everyone for the advice. I don't even know why I try and slowplay anyways, it never works for me.

And he meant pre-flop. When the pot is still small in relation to the stacks.

I can see the point of just calling the flop, you have a big hand and want to get paid off. You could easily push, but alot depends on your read will the guy call with a FD, will he call with an over-pair?

Turn, I would have been more worried about 25, maybe 25 hearts than AA. Or maybe a hand like AK, with maybe hearts. I'd go broke here and I think anyone that isn't a complete passive ninny would aswell. He could also have an underset, 2 pair or another big range of hands. He limped in PF from UTG that doesn't scream AA to me.

I would have raised the flop if I knew how strong he was.

The old "limp UTG with aces" is one of the most common moves you see online.
