I think your flop bet told the story...you bet hard and he called...what could he possibly call a raise with here....I only see Ax or better (KQh is a longshot)...Doesn't look like he is going to fold either. I don't think I bet the turn there...you learned all you need to on the flop. I don't bet the river.

raise more pf. youll get called at 4bb and maybe 5.

bet flop and check/fold it. unless you have a read that hes chasing or has a J.

hm. to me it doesn't look like he has an A either. with two hearts out i don't see an A playing this passively.

If I'm right about that, I don't want a fold... Here I chose to bet an amount that allows me to fold if raised at all. I think a check at the river invites a bluff I can't look up...

just thinking aloud. still not solid on it.

I see it a lot. Passive players don't protect themselves from draws. It takes all kinds.

I can see a weaker ace...lets say A-10 playing this way and too scared to bet (looking for a cheap showdown) or the absolute nuts (JJ or 55) and not smart enough to bet it out. I just can't see a way where you are ahead and would want to put more chips in the middle...unless this guy is absolutely terrible.

[dj newman]

I just saw the results...was calling with a J, I am guessing...I think you just found a new best friend...
