I think I was waaaaay too weak tight on that one. I was 4 tabling so I didn't have any reads so I was worried when the board paired. Maybe I'm just seeing monsters under the bed? Please critique.

This is pretty tought because he is never really defining his hand by simply calling your flop bet and betting after you show a lot of weakness is a play he might make no matter what hes holding.. A couple of explanations that I could think of are the
a. he was playing a under pocket pair and was tryin to pick up pot after your check
b. he had a monster and was milking you.
c. ace high trying to pick up the pot

Personally I pull the trigger twice on this and bet the turn also hoping that the villian will fold. A lot of times players will abandon a draw on the turn to a pot sized bet or reraise if they were slow playing. Checking here doesn't help you figure out what hes playing. Just my 2 cents.

Even for a $20+2 I think limping EP w/X4 is pretty rare. To me this feels a lot like 55-TT, maybe once in a while AA.

I think I would bet out again on the turn.

I poosh or CR the turn. You really think he limped with a 4 and then called the 225 on the flop? Most likely he has low PP or J no kicker. If he has AA, bad beat.

I don't see anything wrong with your play. A lot of people would limp A4 and call with mid pair, top kicker. It may be a lousy play but people do it all the time.

Check-call the flop, then shove turn
