Its not how I would play AA. Our flop raise a LITTLE too big, but not a deal breaker.

Our flop bet is way too small. When villain raises, we should jam. I like to protect AA, with a pot to slightly over pot bet on flop.

As played, semi wet, villain showing merged range, trying to polarize. Small pairs can call or raise the flop here, as well as draws. My take, when villain raises, shove. if not, then x/c turn (not a small bet again), and see what river brings.
