It's easy to give someone else advice or say how you should or shouldn't, would or wouldn't play a hand. And I know we often say what we always or never do. Of course there are circumstances and situations where we may feel it benificial to deviate from the norm. This was not one of them. There was no reason for me to play this hand as bad as I did. 
 
I've offered my two cents on playing A-A in the past. What I've said is do not slow play them. I have also said that not to give your opponent a free card to beat you with. I did both here. The simple fact is that I played this hand bad almost from start and there was really no excuse for it. 
 
I raised pre as I should have making it 4x (3x+1x for the limper in front of me). There is no way I should have checked the flop with two diamonds on the board. Maybe I could have gotten my man off his hand on the turn by repping the flush, but I doubt it. You can't see it, but quintas jams all in on the river, making it pretty obvious that he has either a K or the diamonds. That made it an easy fold, allowing me to get away from my hand pretty cheaply. Raising before the flop and folding on the river were the only things I did right in this hand.
