Playing Big Hands

[Jaded]

Am getting fed up by the amount of money I seem to lose by not extracting enough chips out of people when I've got a big hand... as an example, see the one below: Any thoughts on a better way to play? (No real reads, haven't been at the table long.)

Re: Playing Big Hands You were too PASSIVE pre- and post-flop imo :unsure I wouldn't ever call pre-flop with AA, it would always be getting reraised. Then again on the flop, I want to know where I am, and he's getting raised again. Turn bet 3750 into 3525 (if my addition is correct) pot is fair enough
