sometimes it pays immediately to change it up

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.

Why did u check the turn? You were planning on C/Ring again?

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

Don't post results

villain was stacking off anyways.

bet the turn next time or you'll lose out on value

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.

betting turn is way better than checking think about ranges
