i'm used to playing AA/KK preflop very aggressively just raise/reraise/shove type line but i feel like i'm actually wasting value by doing that because most of the time i will win the pot preflop when villain folds like he did above. rarely will i be up against KK/QQ or some fish with AK so is there anything i can do differently to maximise the value?
But as well you could consider even flatting to keep weaker hands in the play and let him CB with them and then he most likely will feel committed.
