wth?

Looks like a bluff gone wrong to me.

Looks like he was trying to give the illusion that he was slowplaying a monster, by smooth calling the flop and just minraising the turn.

It didn't work for him though :dance:

He may have been trying to semi-bluff with TPTK. Perhaps QK,
or maybe an OESD.

The board has straight written all over it, so he probably thought
he could represent KT but who would call a sizeable PFR with KT?
Nice raise with AA. Smooth calling here could invite disaster.

if he was semi bluffing i think he would've called that last 5 dollars.. lol

No idea why he folded. He was getting tremendous pot odds that ANY sort of drawing hand was more than worth seeing the river. He was getting like 11-to-1 on his money at that point with a card to come. Weird.

I think he had JJ, 10-10, or maybe AK, I play at these levels a lot and have come across many idiots who play hands like that. I would have to play with him a little more to really see how he plays, btu those are about the only hands I could think he played like that. With any draw he wouldve called the end.
