Analysis
In this hand, you made some strong plays with pocket Aces but still ended up losing. Your bets on the flop and turn were aggressive, which is appropriate with a strong hand. However, your all-in on the turn for 750,000 may have been too much, considering the board now has potential for straights and two pairs.
Instead, you could have bet less, around 300,000 to 400,000, which would still apply pressure without risking your entire stack. This way, you could have potentially increased your chances of getting a call from weaker hands while keeping your options open if another player were to raise.
Also, you should have paid attention to player tendencies early on; if either player was aggressive, they might have better made hands than you on the river. In future, be cautious about committing too much of your stack when the board suggests potential for straights or when multiple players show strength. This will help manage risks effectively while maximizing returns .
