Slowplaying aces pre flop
I had some discussion with dohhhhh about this hand.
What do people think, I will rarely just call with aces but I thought dohh would fire a couple of times on any board and thought that would get me more in the long run.
At the start of the hand, it wasnt really my plan to get it in on the turn, but the board started scaring me and I lost my bottle.
Was the donk bet bad or should I be check raising there..
Any advice and analysis appreciated

you dont and never do. you are also OOP witch makes the hand so hard to play.
my advice for what its worth, you can slow play AA. you open on the button and get 3 bet by blinds or early pos limper, then in this spot you can flat the 3 bet as i will hide the strenth of your hand.
most important thing is pos an get it HU.
I think there are a some factors to consider when calling with big hands pre flop, sort of a checklist to meet in terms of the hand, only if i had most if not all of them would i flat call pre.
Firstly i believe you would need to be in position to flat call with such a big hand as i really don't like to play any hand out of position especially with another player to act behind. If that was me i'd be raising pre and running the risk of taking down a smaller pot right away.
Also i think i'd like to know that i'm are against a player of equal or less ability, i don't mind seeing more flops with players of a lower ability than myself but against a player of higher ability i'm all for trying to take the pot away pre-flop or getting more of his stack when you can pretty much guarantee he's behind.
Post flop i've got no problem with the lead out and to be honest i believe it helped you get some more money from a pretty tricky spot against someone like dohhh ( a bit results orientated but oh well!)
That's what i reckon anyway, feel free to agree or disagree guys!
There are better hands than aces ?
I didnt like it
What an opportunity to stack DOHHHHHHH wasted
Because, the guy behind me was in and although I was risking it going 3 way, it wasnt definite. Also, with it being 3 way, doh is more likely to check behind if myself and other person checked first.
Also, if doh did have a piece of it, and he was checked to, he would be making a cbet of prob the same as me , £1.80. If I were to come over the top, he would likely be laying it down I thought. Making my won pot smaller.
I also thought that if I led out and he had a piece of it, his raise would have to be quite large , making it a bigger pot for me when I come over the top.
Lastly, I didnt like that flop much, way to drawy and I did not want to be giving any free cards.
Is this bad, or should I just be checkraising?
You obviously know doh's game quite well to want to flat him However Like freechips states you whole focus should be on the BB. You say you don't know for certain if he is coming along which means you have to 3bet, however if the guys folds the bb all the time and is a complete nit then party on.
I have a sneaky suspicion that you would have won more with a 3bet here.
what happens if he leads out when he hits a flush draw or a straight draw or bottom pair?! and in position we just raise fold our made hand??
I have to disagree with this. From my experience, the bb is not always calling here, and as Ms Chips said, I certainly do not think only complete nits fold here.
