Aces crack by an underpair, an oldy but a goody.

To be honest, theres no way you could have thought you had won that hand once the board hit.
Any of the following hands someone might play aggressively had you beat by the river:
KK QQ JJ TT 99 AQ AJ KQ KJ
There were very few hands you could actually beat.
If this had not been a preflop all in, I would have let my AA go at some point in the hand.

Your entire post is absurd. Are you serious? Your entire post with the exception of the last sentence is about how I would have lost by the river and how you would have folded AA by then. Great... That’s not the situation I was in though. Bringing up the flop after I've gone all-in with the best pre-flop hand is pointless. The flop could easily have been 72J, 884, Q95. Soooooo what's your point? I did not move all in AFTER the flop, AFTER the turn or AFTER the river.
Thank you Captain Obvious for pointing out the hands that would win with a 9KJTJ on the board and that you would have folded by then. I doubt a single person on these forums would fold AA pre-flop. I would do the same thing each and every time. 80% favorite, that's the law of probabilities and statistics. Losing when you are an 80% favorite at the time you go all-in is a bad beat. This is the bad beat forum. If you’d like to try to justify how you would play other situations please see the “Theory” forums. Otherwise the self-important attitude and post is not welcome.

Mangothebear would you have played this hand differently?

Sorry if I came off as criticizing your play here, because I wasn't. Obviously, getting all in preflop with AA is a no-brainer.
I was just mentioning what a horrible board that was for AA and I would have been suprised if AA actually did hold up on that board.
However, getting AA cracked by underpair is so common that its hardly worth mentioning.

Sorry mango that you became my whipping boy. I completely took the tone of your post as condescending. Short on sleep. Lots of things to do. Getting crushed in poker on hands like this over the last several days makes me very cranky.
