    People let me tell you about my best friends...

    Default Proud of this one, but not too proud...

    This really isn't my bag (baby), but I had him pegged on AK or AQ, and felt I could outplay him. 25/5 (VPIP/PFR) for him, semi-loose call pre-flop for me, but I'd been playing stone-cold killer-pot-sized-attack-mo-fo-style, and the table was scared f-ing scared. I feigned the 2 pair hit on the turn, which he smooth called, strengthening my read. For a moment I thought he was going to cry-call the river.

    What kinds of reads would you look for here before making this move?

    Nice hand. wp

    All you need to know is if he can fold TPTK then play a standard set line on him. I'd rather do this against someone who will fold AK on the turn though. This guy could have felt committed on the river.

    Nice hand, but I'd be REALLY hesitant about pulling these kind of big moves without a very good read like you had. Unless I had actually witnessed villian make a big laydown I don't think I would attempt this. I'd also like the stacks to be a bit deeper, like 200BB's or so. But this is the exact reason why it's so tough to play AA/KK/QQ/AK with just one pair against a tricky lag out of position.
