You played this fine. Maybe re-pop him to $4 preflop, but if he has bullets, you're just going to get stacked.

Well played.

Apart from pre flop, there isn't much you could do here. You really can't just check behind, and can't fold after you've bet, as you'll be getting over 3 to 1 to call, and should be ahead at least that often I'd think.

Does anyone push here preflop and hope to get a call?

only if you have history and he knows you may 4bet bluff shove, which isn't really worthwile at nl10.

I make the 4bet a little bigger, $3.50-4 but sometimes calling the 3bet is fine depending on reads.

As played, not much you can do. I would bet the flop harder though, $4 at least.

Well as a few of you said he did have AA. I was tempted to fold the flop but just couldnt do it since I had more than half my stack in and could easily be up against aq, ak, jj etc.
