After a few thousand hands of zoom, AA has provided some interesting rounds of betting. I must avoid becoming too attached to them however as I don't expect this mentality to yield a long term profit.
I will post the specific results of hands if asked, but in the meantime - 2 of these hands made me money, 3 of them lost me money.
Hand 1 (#3)
Is the Flop too coordinated for a c-bet?
Not keen on my turn shove; however, considering Villain's range, I would assume AJ+ because of early position raise and flat calls pre-flop and post. JJ and QQ would have me beat if he was slow playing. A low pocket pair (2s or 3s) wouldn't make sense to raise from UTG.

Hand 2 (#5)
I'm content with the pre-flop play here. C-bet on this board doesn't concern me as I assume villain to be 88+, AJs+, AQo+, KQs+ from UTG.
The turn involves him shoving his stack in the middle, and me writing a forum post about it later. What's the play in this spot?

Hand 3 (#6)
Getting Aces on the BB is convenient if the button tries to steal, which is how this hand played out... until he shoved on the turn.

Hand 5 (#15)
No complaints about my pre-flop play, continuation bet on this board could be risky, but Villain should be way ahead or way behind basically.
Similar to hand 2, except I get slow played before Villain shoves on the river. Reviewing this hand makes me consider that UTG limp screams pocket pair + villains post flop play = set.
