AA and turn raise.

Villain is 45/19/1.8 after 116 hands, hasn't done anything too unusual. I figured this was a way ahead/way behind situation, A8s, 78s, 89s possible, but so is KJ. I figured this line maximized my wins and minimizes my losses. Thoughts?

I agree with you..well played...hopefully he doesn't have that 8 but could be likely...What did he have I hate waiting for results.. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Villain had KJ and MHIG. I was just wondering if I lost value here. He likely would have called a turn shove, figuring me for AK, but I guess that would have been a bad play, considering that I was lucky enough that he didn't have an 8. I also got maximum bluff value by check-calling the river, I suppose.

Yup, 45% VPIP, how do you know he doesn't have the 8? Looks like you played it just right.
