Not sure who told you that, but with a possible straight after the turn and a shove all in, I afraid I would have folded. Ok so he did',t hit the straight but there was also a possibility of him hitting the flush on the river. whereas the only possibility of improving your hand was by hitting another ace which was very unlikely.

Don't be afraid to fold good hands.

That being said a large raise pre-flop at least 4-5 times the big blind may have won you this hand.

There are many ways to play AA some people use slow play like you did, but it can be very costly.

Im afraid there's nothing you could do.

With it being so early on, time and time again this very same thing has happened to men, you make the 4x raise and you get called by nothing.

Flush draw came on the flop so he's not getting away from it, You probably could of with it being a wet flop, however as it seems with most players, you've got the AA you want to follow it through. And then the chips go in on the turn and he makes his flush on the river.

Was decent play, wouldn't say good.

I did make a large raise pre-flop up to 80. I knew he was fishing I just couldnt believe he told me it was me who played it wrong.

Can't see where the good play is i'm afraid. Some people will call with any 2 especially early on, hoping to hit a bit of the flop. After he shoved on the turn, there's a possible straight and a flush there, so in all probability your aces are not as huge as you thought, so a fold would have been a good play.

wow great play you reeled him in and he got lucky ,

take this with a pinch of salt ,

your bet on flop has to be over the pot total ,

that flop was bad for the villan but you were not to know ,

it was a huge drawing flop ,
