Back on the right track ...

Just finished up a 1K+ session at $2/$4. I was really hoping I could do that today and it feels good to have done it. I am still getting my $$ in as a favorite:

The board refuses to pair for me recently.

Here are two big hands for me:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Hold'em Cash Game
$2/$4 Blinds
6 Players
http://www.legopoker.com/hh/

richer12: $887.40
GL2U: $408
SweetOldBroad: $410.30
Charcot: $394
cardiffgiant1: $492.10
TheXC: $449

Preflop: TheXC is dealt Ah As (6 Players)
SweetOldBroad folds, Charcot folds, cardiffgiant1 folds, TheXC raises to $14, richer12 calls $12, GL2U folds

Flop: ($32) 3c 7s Jd (2 Players)
richer12 bets $45, TheXC calls $45

Here, the player overbets the flop. It's unlikely he does this with a set, and since there are no draws, I decide to call in position. I debate raising, but if he's bluffing, I want to let him bluff one more time on the turn. If he has KJ or AJ I want to see one more card.

Turn: ($122) 3h (2 Players)
richer12 bets all-in for $828.40, TheXC calls all-in for $390
Uncalled bet of $438.40 returned to richer12

He shoves, I call. I don't like the play with KK. I only call his flop bet with AA, or a set. Maybe call with AJ ONCE. By not re-raising pre-flop, he's allow me to play the hand perfectly. Granted, he was going to get stacked even if he re-raised, but still - if I have 77 or 33 there, he's making it really cheap for me to try to catch a set.

River: ($902) 6s (2 Players - 2 All-In)

Pot Size: $902 ($3 Rake)

richer12 had Ks Kh (two pair, Kings and Threes) and LOST (-$449)
TheXC had Ah As (two pair, Aces and Threes) and WON (+$450)

And the other was also AA:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Hold'em Cash Game
$2/$4 Blinds
6 Players
http://www.legopoker.com/hh/

cardiffgiant1: $488.50
TheXC: $748.60
richer12: $349
GL2U: $574.50
SweetOldBroad: $522
SweetJLee: $489

Preflop: TheXC is dealt As Ac (6 Players)
richer12 folds, GL2U raises to $14, SweetOldBroad folds, SweetJLee folds, cardiffgiant1 folds, TheXC raises to $52, GL2U raises to $155, TheXC raises to $275, GL2U raises to $395, TheXC raises all-in to $748.60, GL2U calls all-in for $179.50
Uncalled bet of $174.10 returned to TheXC

I actually chose to contine putting money in the pot and not try to slow play. It worked out well. Can he fold KK here at any point?

Flop: ($1151) 2h Jh 9s (2 Players - 2 All-In)

Turn: ($1151) Ad (2 Players - 2 All-In)

River: ($1151) 7d (2 Players - 2 All-In)

Pot Size: $1151 ($3 Rake)

GL2U had Kd Kc (a pair of Kings) and LOST (-$574.50)
TheXC had As Ac (three of a kind, Aces) and WON (+$573.50)
