Yeah. The bet sizes are odd. You don't bet t100 into a pot t350 on the flop, and you certainly don't bet t2630 into a pot of t500 on the turn.

3/4 pot on the flop, 3/4 it on the turn, check-call/fold river based on size of bet and read, IMHO.

He was the chip leader, and he was playing very loose recently. I knew there was a pretty good chance to be called there, and since we were heads-up, and I had 2 pairs of aces, I knew I had a pretty good advantage over him. That's all I wanted to go all-in to double my stacks.

I pretended to apperar weak with my raise post flop, and fortunately he had an A to make him want to call.

I guess I was just unlucky, as the board paired.
