What about position?  Ya know, I think it's just as important in FL as NL.  Did you bet and raise from early position?  How were the calls?

I can see your situation happening thusly: You're in 1st position with AA.  You raise.  Everyone calls until late position(maybe even BB).  They haven't called by much at that point, they want to see the flop.  Then the Button, SB, or BB raises.  Well, you reraise(wanting to demonstrate the power of your hole cards).  People call again, but it's because now, like it or not, they're in it.  They only have to call by a little with every pass around the table until the cap's reached.

It keeps going like this, and only one or two people stand a real chance of winning.  But the callers are all thinking "Well I only have to call by a bit, and look at the size of the pot!".

So I've taken to playing dead.  For the most part, not even pushing until I'm pretty sure I have it made in the shade.  Then I start to push.  It seems like no matter how hard I raise, few people fold.  By then they're married to their hole cards.

I know how it is. I've been there.  I still sometimes fall under the spell of a gorgeous starting hand that magically turns from gold to poop, all between the flop and the river.

Oh yeah, and I fold more post-flop and less pre-flop now.  I'm still a craptastic player, but I'm getting better :).  You will too.

Just play possum.
