If I had actually stopped and thought the play through a little more and tried to put him on a range of hands, it ought to have been obvious that there was at least a reasonable chance he had filled up here. I guess another way of putting this is that my problem lies in a lack of dynamic analysis of the hand, and failure to detach myself from the knowledge that I was holding a lock hand for 2 streets. Failure to properly re-evaluate this hand on the river hurt me here. And even if I couldn't have gotten away from this hand in this instance, if I keep this up in the long run I'm losing money. Thanks for indirectly helping me to spot a new leak in my game.
Well, you have just outlined my biggest leak. Almost every large pot I lose is for the very reason you mentioned. I look to extract as much as possible with the nuts not even bothering to think that there could be something bigger (however outlandish) to take me stack.

Thanks for the post.
