Giving Up on AA, Stacking off with a J

It was a Saturday night at Foxwoods and the 2-5 game plays somewhat like a 1/2. This table was good but not stable.

Folded to the cutoff who limps in... There's the instability now, the table had been pretty loose.

I had AA on the button and raised to 25 leaving me about 240 behind. The sb called, bb folded, and CO called.

Big blind is loose post flop but doesn't call down light, he eventually left the table with 2700$ in chips and who nows how many bills. The CO is a young Asian who just bought in with 5 black chips.

Pot 70$. Flop Jh 10c 8c. check, check, I bet 41. Was supposed to be 45, but I had a dirty stack.

bb folds, CO calls.

Pot 152$. Turn Jh 10c 8c Kh. He leads for 70$. I have 200$ left.

A call commits me. I can't tell if he has a two-pair, or a pair+draw combo, or some other odd hand like a strange set, or AK??

Well as usual, I have no idea what he had. So I folded after two minutes of Negreneau style bantering. He didn't show.

Having a bad night, I wound up with J9 on the button just against the bb. I called and he raised to 15. The flop came J 10 2. He bet the pot and I had 125 left and shoved. He had QQ and won.

Odd how I felt inevitable to fold AA and needlessly stacked off with a weak top pair.
