    Default Bad play?

    My reasoning for the river overbet was that if he caught a high flush he would probably pay me off. I have been losing a baffling amount of full houses lately though, pokertracker almost has me in the red now with the full house after 15k hands!

    Ouch ouch ouch make it stop, he what, case A, limp, what? I think this is in the wrong forum. I like the hammer drop. Maybe a reasonable bet on the turn as well would have revealed his hand? I doubt it, however. I think flush would call you here. OUCH! ACK!

    Make a callable bet on the turn. If he called your bet on the flop, he probably has an ace and will call a bet on the turn. This also serves to disguise your hand as a bare ace. Follow with another bet on the river, and reraise if he raises. It's pretty absurd that this guy actually had pocket aces, since he played the hand about as poorly as you can at almost every opportunity.

    Just going all-in out of the blue on the river with a full house after your opponent has shown weakness doesn't really make any sense.

    I disagree with the all in move as a bad move. It has often brought down some very big pots for me in situations like this. If you think that there is a real chance that your opponent was drawing and hit a flush, then I like this move.

    A flush may call or may fold to an all-in, any other hand other than a full house will fold. A set of 2's and an ace will call a smaller bet, and a flush may very well raise a smaller bet.

    I think this is the better play because it extracts maximum value from a wide range of hands.
