This time the hand panned out perfectly for you, she was a dog till the turn then u got ur money in as a 4 to 1 favourite, but calling preflop will cause you alot of problems in future. It's good to mix in a few slow played aces but here's what can happen:

1. Because you played the hand weird, you dont know where u are in the hand, and there alot of steets and the stacks r deep compared to the pot.

2. Potential for multiple callers, your hand is now a dog and same as point 1.

3. Gives everyone excellent odds to spike trips on you and bust you, spose the calling station hit the 9 on the flop, with a flop 2 5 9, you're gonna lose a huge pot, and only win a very small pot when they miss.

4. You lose value from calling stations willing to call more with medium pairs and Ax

Poker players don't raise AA for the fun of it, theres many factors that make raising AA preflop the more profitable play, not just the obvious 'get more money in the pot with the nuts'

Also, against a calling station, you want to be pushing your good hands to the limit! Save slow playing for the maniacs and compulsive bluffers. You got unlucky, but your gonna have alot tougher decisions playing crazy players if you're giving them good odds and the stacks are deep.
