there is nothing else i could do???????

playing live 1-3 NL i am button in this hand, i have played pretty tight all night mainly because i was getting the doyle Brunson mulitple times. ok in hand utgx2 raised to 15 gets two callers when it comes to me (200 behind) i reraise to 45 AQos. two callers including utgx2. Flop comes AQT two diamonds everyone checks to me i throw out 15, one folds utgx2 reraises to 65.....i think for a minute and with a diamond draw and chance at flopped straight or gut shot i decided this was as good as any and repopped it all in. utgx2 thinks for a few and calls with AT and of course spikes a T on turn. my question is do you think if maybe i went bigger preflop i could have had a fold really i am thinking it is just bad luck as i want that call almost everytime.....thoughts

Betting $15 into a $100 pot is not even close to enough. Other wise the play is fine, you just got unlucky.

Actually it was $15. into an approx $140. pot, way too small, especially on a draw heavy board. I might make this bet with AQ6 rainbow flop, hoping to induce a re-raise but not this flop. It's all academic as you were both getting it in regardless... Just bad luck, you got it in ahead, nothing else to do but reload.
