AA in the BB... everyone folds. Not my day?

AA + KK = -$150 today

Still, I managed to grind together a win for the day after only ~2400 hands. Mainly due to this hand:

Was kind of a funny table. The fish had 56/14 stats, the other three players were so nitty they didn't even get a 56% vpip all together. I was actually the second loosest player at the table with 17%, the others had 16, 16 and 10. All it takes is one fish to make a game...

Won $10 with AA today so I am getting there, it was some very exciting hands:


AA #1
I'm in MP; UTG folds and I raise to $4. Button and blinds fold. I think I played it correctly.

AA #2
I'm in the SB and it is folded to me, I raise to $4 (good/bad?), the BB decides to fold. I'm a bit unsure about this one, would you play it differently?

AA #3 (this was the big one)
Shorty limps UTG and SB completes, I raise to $4.50 out of the BB. Shorty flat calls but SB gets out of the way. Flop comes Q73 rainbow. I put SB in for his last $3.25 and he calls with his K6s for the two-pair-or-trips-draw but actually misses (I think I'm at least 60/40 there). Maybe I overplayed it by putting him in on the flop but I didn't want to risk a free card.

Unfortunately I still netted a small loss of $35 but things are looking up!

Second hand I play at the table...
