Opp was a nice guy

So Im getting close to the BI that I need to play 50NL and I decided to play a couple tables today, and give myself a stop loss. This hand blows my mind, and I deserved to loose my stack. I was playing ultra aggressive at this table, I think over the last 20 hands I was something like 26/23. I really cant believe he didnt shove me all in. I mean there is only two hands that beat him. Anyways, it was very nice of him and I think I should send him a thank you note :)

He's not nice, he's a nimrod. And why did you check the flop?

2 hands that beat you?

How about: QQ/33/44/AA/AQ/A3/Q3/43/A4and any other 3x

That's 18 that I count

Bet that flop!

2 hands that beat opp

Sorry bout the typographical error, it was during my lunch break and didnt check. I did mean hands that beat him.

My reasoning behind not betting the flop is because I had a maniac image at this table, simply because I had raised the last 4 flops and 3 bet a raiser twice out of those, and cbet those flops. What they didnt know is that I had caught a good run of cards. My reasoning behind not betting the flop was because no matter what opps whole cards were he would have called or maybe raised and I didnt want to be in that spot. When I hit my Ace on the turn and he snap called I put him on a range of KQ,QJ,QT, A4, A3, and any two diamonds. Reasoning for betting pot on the river is because I think he calls a lot of missed draws, or with a worse two pair. I posted this mostly because it strikes my interest to know what players are thinking when they view you as a maniac, I mean does he really put me on AA/33. I also dont think that that it was misclick, his time bank actually kicked in before he called me.

Bet the flop here because if u do have a maniac image a lot of worse hands are calling and you can double barrel and get small pairs to fold

I was at a table with like three 60/5, these guys had the fold buttons removed from there computers. As far as the double barrel thing, that is something I am comfortable doing at 25NL in certain spots that I know I can get a way with it, when testing the waters in 50NL I would like to wait untill I realize better spots, and I felt like my timing would have been off at this table. Plus this hand did help out my image even more since I was pushing so hard with TPTK that is pretty much all they could ever put me on from there on out. So I played it cool for a while won a few small pots to build my roll on that table up to 70ish and ended up winning a $60 pot against same opp, on a flop where he flopped TPTK, and I flopped the nut straight.
