Same here!

My thinking as well. Obviously there is an argument for c/r flop and with the uberfish I think it likely he would have called but he was also very aggressive so I wanted to give him a second shot at the pot and then hit him.

I think MP can call down Ax while folding out his KK- (which he's pretty much c/f-ing now). As for the fish, he has Ax in his range too, so he could be calling to showdown.
With the benefit of hindsight I think this would have definitely been the better way to play it. I think MP was always c/fing to the river after getting 2 calls so I should have concentrated more on getting value from the fish. I think he would have called down with Ax all day.

Point taken. In future I will try even harder to not let the past unduly influence my play.
