no, after he check raises you why do you push him allin on the river? must of the time he is going to have a set or a straight there.

Why does it show 1-2 NL at the top, but then the blinds are .5-1?

Why not call the river bet instead of raising? Do you still think that you are ahead?

First check the river, then Call/Fold. You fired all the way. Against all sorts of representation, this guy is seeing you. Probably a set.

I think villian has to show a set here, or TJ if he's loose preflop.

River raise sucks.

Flat call on the flop/min raise on turn = whale of a hand, tough to laydown ak, but reraising him is not an option, you gotta slow down

I had been getting absolute crap cards and had pretty much just folded for an hour so when I got this I guess I got a bit carried away.

thats why patience is an important part of being sucessful in poker.

Easy call on the river. Only hand you beat is QK, AQ which would be a very weird line if villian did have those hands.

Yeah its an easy call, but the problem is he reraised.

Exactly. Maybe I wasn't clear. No way I would even think of reraising in that spot unless villian was a total donk.
