Playing at my weekly homegame tourney/cash-game. Bust out of the joker $40 tourney after two rounds with the nut-flush draw against two over-pairs and miss.
Buy into the cash game for $100 with about 4 other players. Real loose, aggressive game (especially one player who just plays more nuts than anyone I've ever seen).
I'm running good in the beginning, make a few flushes and a set, and I'm up to about $250-275 when the following hand comes up.
It's live straddled and 2 people limp. I look down in the BB with A[s]A[c]. I make it $20 to go and the live-straddle, the ultra-loosey-aggro guy, and one other player call.
Flop is J[d]9[d]7[c].
I lead out for $50 and the live-straddle insta-pushes for $160 total.
What do you put him on and what do you do?
Bad, bad flop for A-A...

AJ, KJ,QJ, JT, J9, J8, T9, 98, QQ, KK, x[d] x[d], QT, JJ, 99, 77, T8.
You beat most of his range and it's unlikely he would play a set so fast, insta-pushing in. He would at least contemplate slowplaying. This looks like a flush-draw or pair+gutshot, maybe AJ.
Btw, what are the other stack sizes and blinds for this game?

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Blinds were $1/2 and he had about $180, the loose-aggros crazy guy had $200 and the other player had like $75.
I went in the tank for a while - I really didn't want to see somebody shove, but I felt priced in no matter what and figured his range was going to be far too large for this to be a profitable spot to fold.
So I made a crying call and he turned over 7[d]5[d].
A[h] on the turn to give me the temp. nuts.
Q[s] on the river.
In hindsight, I can see it wasn't as hard a call as I first put it out to be, I just hated seeing that flop and knowing I was probably goiing to get get it all in.

doesn't give you the nuts, T8 is the nuts on flop/turn and KT is the nuts on the river. You had the nuts preflop though!
