Hand from the WSOP Step 2

[celticGreen]

The check at the end is lame, my thought at the time was that I wouldn't get called with a worse hand... But, I assume a bet here is the right play. Just wanted comments on my line (leading up to the river check):

600 on the river


you can't picture a worse hand calling? AJ, AK, AQ, possibly the jack of a maniac


there is no way i check behind there.

Decent up to the river though? I agree, it was a horrible move on my part... I'm still at the point in my game where I lose concentration during play.

yeah up to the river it's sweet.

the flop, you rereaised big- and he still called. he has an ace at worst

so you back down the betting a bit to keep him there, normally on the turn i try to tie him in even more betting 2/3rds on the turn or so

and on the river, i may even push- make it look like a kamikaze kk or something. a value bet may be better, but since hte person has a big stack they may go out of their way to make an "amazing" call
