Hey guys, first post!I'm fairly new to poker and was looking for some advice on how i played the following hand... can't retreive hand history on FullTilt so bare with me.Backround: $0.25-$0.50NL (6 max) and im in the SB with AQx. My opponent is a fairly loose-agressive player who likes to see flops. I have $32 and he has me covered.Pre Flop: Mp limps and I raise to $2. Mp calls Flop: A-6-9 rainbow. I bet $3 and get raised to $6. I re-raise to $14 and get pushed all-in. I now am not sure if I'm beat but decide to call my last $16 off.He ended up have me beat with A-6 and I sucked out at the river, but I was wondering if you feel I overplayed my hand. Thanks :wink:

He ended up have me beat with A-6 and I sucked out at the river, but I was wondering if you feel I overplayed my hand.Nah, getting all in with top pair second best kicker is what NL is all about.Yeah, you overplayed it.

Heads up, you have to reraise this flop, but then drop it when you get pushed all in.

You completely overplayed it. When he pushes, you should fold this hand. Not good enough to call all-in here.Edit - Yeah, what Vade said.

It's a 25nl so lots of bad players will push aces w/ bad kicker... U shouldn't necessarily fold. Definitely shouldn't reraised tho

In NL HE, you want to be the trapper not the trappee. This is the kind of hand that you can trap yourself with, and should dump it when you're re-raised.It's true, a lot of donkeys will overplay a hand like AJ, A10 here, but you can make them pay later when you know you're ahead.I'm not calling here unless I know for sure that this guy is a major fish, and I've actually seen him overplay a weak ace a couple of times.You just have to ask yourself, "why is he showing such aggression," and it's usually because he flopped two pairs and knows you have AK-AQ.
