Calling down here was a play I wouldn't make a month ago, because I didn't distinguish a big pot from a small pot when it came to deciding whether to fold or not. Just wanted to post an example of not folding when the pot is big..

I don't even want to know what the button was thinking...

I've been seeing this play a lot on Party 2/4 lately...don't know if it's just a coincidence or if it got mentioned in some mag article or other forum or what. People assume that when you cap or 3-bet PF, you must be on a high pocket pair, and the A is a scare card for all but one of those. In that light, the bet(s) make sense, especially if he had a read on Hero from past hands that said he would fold to a turn raise on a scare card.

That said, I think that betting the river was too much.

A lot of players won't cap with AK, even AKs, so taking that mindset into account, I can see how some of these players won't put a preflop capper on an ace.

I suck at Engrish today, but hopefully that made some sense.
