Aaaargh. Microlimit...

Opp was quite loose, willing to limp with virtually any two (I believe as long a mid rank). He'd also bet out. Fairly laggy.

Opp recently won a big hand for this limit and I also beat out a pretty big bluff by another player in an earlier hand (in position, called down an opp who was betting pretty hard, raised him on the river. He showed A9, I beat him with AQ).

I'd normally fold this hand UTG PF but I thought that I'd try microlimit to refine my postflop play a bit as I'm normally a SnG player.

On the turn I thought I'd try to end the hand with the checkraise, esp since the turn probably gave me another few outs.

On the river, my rationale for checking when my card came up - I was pretty sure that my opp would bet and I was looking to checkraise him. I wasn't however prepared for his massive overbet...
