Very early raise by a guy who had been giving out free tips to players at the table, as if he wanted to see them improve their game.
He made it 20 and I had about 200 in front of me when I look down and see AA. I repopped to 50. He made it 100 and I went allin. He called with JJ. J on the flop and I lose. No big deal.

This is where it got funny. He makes a comment about how I played it terribly to the rest of the table as I stood up to get more chips. I had every intention of brushing it off and rebuying quietly until he made that comment. So I asked him to elaborate. He said people get way too much money in with AA and lose big pots. I have played for years live and online. I am pretty a pretty solid poker player. People overplay AK all day, but I'll be goddamned if I am not going to try and get all your chips in preflop with AA!!
It gets even better! Several hands later I was sitting out after I had folded a hand and was waiting for the current hand to rap up. That same guy had limped in late, had only the small and big blind call him. There was a very nominal amount in the pot obviously. He proceeded to bet 3x the pot. The other two quickly folded. He flips over AA, shoots me a look and says "now THATS how you rockets!" The table died laughing, and although most were complete fish, they at least realized how comical it all was. So again I asked what he meant, and he explained that his goal is to win several small pots and would never play the way I did and risk so much heads up.
So that's how you play AA, for future reference.
