Pretty good hand
I'm making alot of post today. Thanks FTR and all for the help.
I had lost a hand to this guy earlier. About my 5th hand after sitting down. I had AJs bet 4$ preflop. He was only caller. Flop junk all numbers. I bet 4$. He calls. Turn 6. I bet 5$. He calls. River 3. I bet 5$ he calls. He wins show Q6o. He kept playing like this . Call almost anything, and always bet if no one else did.
I know this wasnt a very good play by me. I had thought that since he called my PreFlop raise. He had couple High cards, or small PP. Then with him just calling the rest . I didnt think he made a set. He had been playing like this as long as I had been at the table. Call almost anything, and always bet if no one else did.
From the play I learned he couldnt be pushed out of pots. I would have to wait until I had the nuts and try to take as much as I could from him. Little later I got this hand.

If you bet on the turn, he probably was folding. Instead, you let him catch his straight on the river, have him try to bully you and then take a nice sized pot. Nice hand and good play
-
I like to play my strong draws aggressively, it builds up the pot when I do hit and I will take down it down often when I don't improve. Here I would raise the flop and bet the turn. In this hand you are lucky that your opponent is a huge fish.
He should have just called your river bet if he had any clue.

I'd checkraise the flop, weak bet at the turn. River plays itself.. Most stupid play of the day:

Thanks, all. I had been having a real bad day. That hand brought me back up, rest of the day when much better after that.
I think what helped me win the bigger hand, and what helped make him reraise and then call my re reraise after the river. Was the play before where I had tried to push him out of the pot, and then lost it to him. He may have believed I didnt have anything. That makes me think. Would it be worth it to intentionally lose a hand, but keep the money amount kinda low? Just to try to make someone think that you will try to push ppl out of pots, when you dont hit. So that later when you do have a Nuts hand you could take a huge pot from them, by betting the same way, but more $? I think, although not intentional, that is what happened here. Maybe be better in a SNG where you know you will be playing the same ppl for awhile? So that you will have a better chance of making the second part of the play? Just a thought I had. What do you think?

Never try to lose a hand, a better play is to show down big bluffs in the hope of getting action on your big hands,

Probably a dumb play, I new he had something but was not at all confident about it ot was worried about the A. He spent ages before folding the river but I showing down the bluff tilted him a bit and set up this beauty...
