Nice play. I like the weak lead on the river prompting CO to raise, you go AI and he calls.

Agree that CO played it very badly. I would have re-raised big on the turn to about 200-250. Would hero have folded to the raise?

Expertly played, your weak lead on the river is fantastic. Well played sir.

Ty and ty...

Yes, I was folding to a significant reraise. The turn bet was a probe...since everyone had checked I wasn't scared by another J and figured the villain for the flush draw when he called . Just goes to show ya...bet your friggin' hand.

You'd think I'd take my own advice...

betting 180 into a 225 pot is not a weak lead

[aislephive]

Yeah I was going to say, leading for 3/4 the pot on the river isn't a weak lead.

Actually, I remember pondering what to lead out with here, 'cause I obviously wanted to get raised but I didn't want to leave too many chips behind in the event he just decided to call, so I figured just under the pot would give at least some appearance of weakness - as much as I could stomach anyway.
