Can someone give me some feedback about my play on this live poker hand in a local 2-5 game??

I had AsAc. I raised to $30 in mid position, got called by the button and BB. Flop came 5c/7c/Jh. BB checked, I checked to the button hoping he would put me on a big A or mid PP and bet it...which he did for $50. The BB called and I raised to $200. The button insta pushed for around $950 and BB folded.

OK so I played with the button before...semi-solid player but definitely capable of calling preflop with suited garbage and pushing the big draw (st8 flush draw) as well as the predictable set. I felt that since even the big draw would put me a slight underdog in a coin toss I folded but in hindsite feel this was a bad lay down.... I felt his insta push screamed draw and my Ac for a back door gave me another advantage I was overlooking.

Any helpful feedback is appreciated.

This hand is a pretty good illustration of why I don't generally like trying to engineer checkraises at LLSNL, especially when deep. You checked to the button in hopes he'd bet with air, but LLSNL is passive, so his bet turns out to be a real hand.

This hand is basically never going to play out as you checkraise, button calls, you bet turn, he calls, you bet river, he calls, AA is good. Instead when checkraising goes well, that usually means that both of them folded. You've then managed to deny them their equity, but as usual in NLHE, this comes at too high a price - forfeiting future value bets which flow from keeping your range wide, and opening yourself up to a reraise.

You have a little under 30% equity against a range like { JJ,77,55,KcQc,KcJc,QcJc,Tc9c,Tc8c,9c8c,8c6c } so you're going to have to fold, as you're calling for more like 36% of the final pot. AA without the A you could possibly think about calling, as then there's a lot more NFD in his range. But the problem here is the checkraise.

Check raise seems really bad here unless you are calling

flop x/r 200 BB's deep with a one pair hand is FPS and bad

just bet the flop and go from there

Yeah, I think the problem is with the check raise. Checking invited the bet and call, and then the raise over-reps your hand. A lot of your hands with overcards would continuation bet anyway.

And what would you do if the button checked? Now a club or straight card can come up, more sets can be hit, etc, and there are two guys in the hand.

Aces is one of the last hands I would check on that flop.

you're way over valuing your hand. And I'm hardly ever doing that if I'm folding to a 3bet.

fwiw your c/r already looks super strong so I don't think he was screaming draw

just cbet and take it from there next time

You need to think beyond your current steeet and choose a line that makes you the most money.

I'd usually c-bet flop but I think checking to mix it up and pot control on a bad flop for us is ok too, especially if button is bluffy. If checking you should be check calling, not check raising. As others have said, this deep check raising is overplaying our hand.

As played, fold. Having the Ac in our hands makes this a much easier fold. We block Acxc, which is the most likely bluff V can have. Once he shoves over your check raise I think his range is probably sets, 75s and combo draws, with a bit of 86s. When we're behind we're way behind and when V is behind he's drawing super live. Finally raise is bigger than pot sized so we need like 35% equity or so.

I would probably go ahead and bet a flop like this, but check/call is good too imo. It's a 3 way pot, going for 2 streets is ok, if it checks through you can bet turn and river. AA is 1 pair, it's not the nuts.

As played easy fold. Even hands that you're "ahead of" will have very strong equity against you, he either has a combo draw, 2p, or sets. Having the Ac in your hand gives more weight to just a strong made hand, that's a card you want him to have if you're ever going to call this.
