i would normally re-raise this... but i decided if i hit the flop i was gonna check raise. then i accidentally crushed the flop. and once he called i figured he had a good Ace... AQ, AJ, maybe AT.

hope this doesn't sound to results oriented.

I think your op was destined to get stacked on this hand.

Is he normally over agressive, or does he figure you for a LAG?

Nice play, BTW.

 Pre-flop is fine.
Flop is fine.
Bet at least $5 on the turn, if not just pushing.

Don't post results

true... AK vs AQ is a cooler.

the way i played it worked out this time but i agree its not the most +EV, "standard", way to play it.

this guys stats looked like he was a solid player. he probably had me on a weaker Ace or maybe even a complete bluff cuz he just insta shoved the river.

he'll continue to be the type of poker player we all love, the one that isn't any good but thinks he is, and slowly donates to the regulars.
