    why didnt you ever reraise post flop?

    I like reraising him pre-flop, but you were already heads-up.

    Just like last thread, min raise SCREAMS of strength, besides for that looks good, maybe a bit more of a value bet on river.

    You might have tried to throw in a check-raise on 4th street.

    sorry, looks pretty good then. Maybe closer to 3/4 the pot on the flop.

    I don't like that play puddle, you've re-raised preflop and bet the flop strong. If you check fourth he has
    a.) a nice free card if he has a ten,jack, or any pair even
    b.) You are asking to get bluff-raised on 5th if that sort of card falls on 5th if he was a good player, if he wasn't bet he'll call with anything anyways

    Some good points, but here's my thinking...

    I dunno you might be right, but with his call pre-flop and flop I'm thinking that I might be behind and start to slow down.

    As I said, he was playing really loose. If he hit something like two pairs on the frop he would have definitely raised me. I think.

    Just a comment, I think you played pretty well.

    I think this is a good situation to get fancy and just call with AA preflop and then check the flop. You have a pretty good idea of his hand (most likely Ace Face) and can pull him for his whole stack with the right flop.
