I would raise 8 bb pre, so the pot on the flop would be 17,5 bb and he is left with 15,08 bb and on that flop I would just shove since he is likely to have a K since we have two aces.

As played Bet flop (6 bb), shove turn, but as played check/fold river. The slowplay is really bad imo and on the river we only beat a bluff.

To answer your question, yes you could have raised a bit more pre flop, but at this level he is probably calling a shove so probably best to raise to 7BBs and either take it down, see a flop if he calls and call off a reshove.

Once that King and 2 spades hit the flop you were doomed, I don't think he was ever giving that up.

Flop: Bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot and jam any raise

Turn: Call is good IMO, reraising is the typical situation where you are either called by better and fold out worse, 67 and Kx hands

River: Fold, as said you only beat bluffs and Kx without a spade. The Flush came in, the draw came in and 9x had you too.

Folding AA is hard, but needs to be done here.

Raise to 7bb pre, cbet/shove flop or if he calls ,shove turn.

If he has a Kx there,he is going to go in anyways.If he doesn't, you are giving him a free card.

Hey Guys!

Pre a 3bet to 6bb or 7bb is standard and fine! I wouldn't make it much bigger! It looks super strong anyways! Against a good regular calling here would be better imo!

As played bet flop like 45-50% and shove turn!

Greets,
