AK nearing bubble

[elipsesjeff]

Opponent probably has either broadway cards or a baby pair as I've seen from him so far. I'm fairly certain he doesn't have an over pair.

I'm fairly certain if he has any pair on the flop he is betting, unless he flopped the nuts.

Is there a question in here?

Important note: Always bet the turn if you bet the flop.

He flopped the quads. It is hard for me to say I like or dislike my play on this one because of the extremely rare result. If he had rivered the 3 I would feel my read to be more correct.

The bet sizing is really funny.

Hands like this make me appreciate live poker. Once he starts in with the story of how he was orphaned at the age of 2 and never catches anything on the flop I know I can just check/fold this and move on...
