My image is Lagg. His check-call made me scared and he hadnt called that many of my PFR's. I was automatically re-raising that weak bet from the short stack when I noticed that I actually had a hand here

Standard?

johngarvey is at seat 1 with 57.70
lukas1981 is at seat 2 with 71.90
curare007 is at seat 3 with 232.45
Saalis is at seat 4 with 241.25
Alex1974 is at seat 5 with 200.05

johngarvey posts the large blind 2.00
Alex1974 posts the small blind 1.00

Alex1974: --, --
johngarvey: --, --
lukas1981: --, --
curare007: --, --
Saalis: :Kd:,

Pre-flop:

lukas1981: Fold
curare007: Fold
Saalis: Raise 6.00
Alex1974: Call 6.00
johngarvey: Call 6.00

Flop (Board: , :Ad:, :Ks:

Alex1974: Check
johngarvey: Bet 4.00
Saalis: Raise 20.00
Alex1974: Call 20.00
johngarvey: Fold

Turn (Board: , :Ad:, :Ks:):

Alex1974: Check
Saalis: Check

River (Board: , :Ad:, :Ks: ):

Alex1974: Bet 22.00
Saalis: Call 22.00

Showdown:

Alex1974 shows: Kh, As (two pair, Aces and Kings)

I think you're right to be scared by that call, and I don't mind the rest of the play.

That hand was beautifully played by you.

Checking behind on turn and then calling a decent river bet is standard and I think the best play possible. You're giving him a chance to bluff and keeping the pot manageable after such a "vulgar display of power*" was shown on the flop.
