Ok he has checked on every single street thus far. I'm never sure if this means a guy is holding a set and trusting my aggression will keep putting bets out on the table or what. Should I throw out a huge bet here or just check it out as in the end I only ended up with a pair of threes. Or do you think I could scare him out of the pot or does he actually have a made hand that can beat me already? How else should I have played this?
