i think i was just gobsmacked that i misread his actions sooo badly. I think i thought he had tried to bluff the flop (he did this often when i checked it to him) so when the king came i checked hoping he would either bluff that card or had caught it and would trap check behind me. I didnt think (and should have) that he wanted a free card behind me. lol now it all makes sense. First time in a while ive out thought myself. I gave him far too much credit.
