Hey guys, first post and hoping you can let me know how i played this hand.

Hero: 30 yo white male. Play a nice solid TAG game. Been at this table for about 2 hours. Haven't gotten out of line, raised a few times in position. Won a nice size pot over villain 2 about 5 hands ago when he called me down at every street with 2nd pair. Only time I've had to showdown. Stack is $300

V1: mid 40's black male. Playing pretty LAG. However every time at showdown has shown up with best hand. The deck is hitting him pretty good and he seems to be running hot. Opens frequently, have the advantage of seeing him open to 17 twice, once with QQ and once with JJ. Big Stack at table, $900

V2: mid 40's black male. Playing very LAG. Doesn't open often but will call a lot of pre flop raises. Very aggressive post flop and seems to win a lot of pots based on pure aggression. Hasn't went to showdown often. Chip stack is a huge rollercoaster but sits at $250.

To the hand...
V1 in UTG+1 opens to $10, I automatically discount big pockets based on earlier raises. My initial read is 2 high cards.

Fold to V2 on the button who smooth calls $10. Can't really put him on anything.

Hero in SB looks down at AA.

Hero????

You have the best hand. Raise to between 30 and 40 dollars. You want people to call. A $35 raise (as PE9 suggested) will give V1 2.2:1 odds and, if V1 calls, 4.5:1 odds.

How'd the flop come down? No matter what, you're betting. The question is how much.

Bet $80-$100, I go more towards $100 with 2 other Vs. Shove any turn.

Do you have Ah?

No Ah

Hero leads $100..

V1 tanks for a good 2 minutes and ends up calling. I now think my initial read was right of 2 big cards and put him on AQ or KQ.

V2 tanks for a minute and calls as well. My read goes to a flush draw for him.

Turn comes 10c

Hero thinks this is a pretty good card and shoves turn for remaining $160

V1 tanks for 3 min plus, first time I have ever thought about calling time, and ends up calling.

V2 snap calls.

Flop comes 4h. Not happy to see another h.

Hero exposes AA, V1 announces AQ and folds, V2 takes his sweet time and rolls over Q10o.

Thanks for the comments guys. Sounds like I played it pretty well just ran into a lil bad "luck"
