Good AA

[Aisthesis]

I can't resist posting this one simply because the river was so funny. I guess it's a bit sadistic, but I couldn't help being rather amused when my opponent had to fold for his last $9.50 in a pot of $270...

I limp here because I don't have position.

Outcome: Hero wins $543.

Actually, this hand raises some issues, though, as well. Does anyone prefer calling the flop rather than raising? Anyhow, it's a very scary board imo. If any spade falls or any card to a straight (and that's almost half the deck, although fortunately I do have a 7 in my hand), I'm going to have to lay down for $90. Fortunately, it didn't happen.

On the other hand, there are also turn cards that are going to kill my action: namely any paired board. So, I guess I'm happy with the re-raise here.
