Yeah, I'm being bullied, but...??

Down to 5 handed in a $215. I have about 3500, BB who is playing off the charts on another level has 4300. Other counts are a couple 500 mircostacks and a 1200 stack, nothing special average players. Blinds are 100/200.

I make it 600 to go from the CO w/ATo, all fold to big stack who calls.

He checks to me and I follow up with an 800 bet into the 1300 pot which he quickly calls just as quickly he checks the T turn. I check behind, and he immediately goes all-in on the blank river. Classic case of the man playing the man/situation. Anybody call here?

What was your thinking on the turn? Slowed down cuz you thought he had the queen? I would have bet again on the turn in hopes of getting a cheap showdown on the river.

Your "cheap" showdown is gonna cost you most of your stack.

I probably burst into tears and call.

I had slowed down because I realized what he was doing... I HOPED he wouldn't push the river after I checked... I figured he'd check/raise the turn all in if I bet.

I think he was looking to checkraise the turn. When that failed, he tried to represent a bluff on the river. I fold.

You gotta fold, leace yourself with 2100 and still in good position chip stack-wise.
