Blinds = 200/400

He's SB/Button, I'm BB.

Villain completes BB, I check.

Flop comes :Js:

I check, Villain checks.

Turn :Ac:

I check, Villain checks.

River :Kd:

I bet 600, Villain raises to 1200, I push All-in.

Hand results in white:
I turn over 5h 3d (Two Pair, Fives and Threes)
Villain turns over Ad Ah (Three of a Kind, Aces)

nothin you can do about that except say nh - gg. I would have bet at the turn, but you were going to lose all your chips here anyway. Can't put someone on a set, especially aces, the way that went down.

We had both played pretty solid TAggy poker, but we knew each other could be tricky sometimes.

The only other move I had contemplated the whole hand was pushing on the flop, but I figured I wouldn't get a call with whatever he had. In this situation I was basically going broke or gaining no ground with a hand I saw as very strong postflop in heads up.

I was just trying to go in for the kill and cripple him while I could, and I don't think if he had bet first I would've been able to let the hand go.

He did tell me after the hand he woulda played my side exactly the same way. Amazing because early on in the tournament he was down to about 240 chips with 15/30 blinds, and he came back to win ^^
