Playing 8-16 last night in a normal California game where 6 people see the flop, sometimes for 2 or 3 bets. But not this time. Folded around to me on the button, and I look down to see AJo. I raise, and get called only by the small blind.
Flop comes A62 rainbow. He checks, I bet, and he checkraises. I've seen this guy play aggressively (perhaps maniacally?) before, and immediately plan to raise him on the river in order to extract three big bets, since I think he might fold to a raise on the turn.
Turn is an 8. He fires out his bet, and I call.
River is a 2. He slowly puts out six chips. I hesitate. I know I should pull the trigger, but I can't. Something is wrong -- my spider sense is tingling or something. I meekly call.
He turns over J2.
I spend the rest of the night thinking I would have felt better about myself if I had lost two more bets on the river.
