Heres a hand I was playing at the Rock. Looking back I am questioning if I should have played it differently.
Game $3-6 NoLimit

Me UTG: KK Raise to $20
Seat 6: ReRaise to $40
Seat 10: All in for $75
Everyone else folded. $144 in the pot

Seat 6 was aggressive loose player with big stack. (Called $40 raise earlier with QJ clubs to flop flush and crack pocket AA)

Seat 10 was tilting and not a very good player(Wasn't really worried about his all in raise.)

Myself tight player image had only played minimum number of hands to this point.

Back to me my turn to act I push all in for $275 more wanting to go heads up against all in seat 10. Also believed I had best hand at this point.

Seat 10 CALLS with AK clubs.

Flop spikes an Ace and I 'm busted broke. I get up cancell the soup I just had ordered and go home replaying the hand over and over.
Should I have just called the $75 raise and see the flop to look for that Ace. Or was my reraise the right play. Major advice is needed as this hand really put that drive home on tilt. Thanks

That is what I always think. Should I call the flop just to see if an Ace hit. Like having QQ on button raising Blinds reraises, but I go all in. Always think about just calling to see the flop. Lets hear some response from the Vets

just to clarify; you mean re-re-raise right?

..or Seat 6 calls?

Bit of confusion ... you say 10 was all-in and then you say he called. Leaving that aside, it appears to me that you played the hand well and got unlucky.

You got it all-in when you were a 3-1 favourite. Then, he drew out on you.

Flip the question around for a moment. Suppose that the A-K player was deeper in chips. If you simply call and the flop comes 8-6-2 how will you get more money from him? You might indice a bluff. Or, maybe not. You might get him to call you. Or, maybe not. Pre-flop, however, we will probably call unless you put in a HUGE re-re-re-raise but the chips were not deep enough for that.

Sorry,
Meant seat 6 calls with AK clubs. Thanks for the reply's. Thinking my push was the right move and just got unlucky. Will continue to be aggresive with big pairs.
