Rick,


Thanks for the response. I think you're right in suggesting that I may have been better off leading on the flop. However, the limpers didn't look too interested in the flop, so I don't know if my checkraise folded anyone who would have called one bet or not.


On the turn, I actually thought there was a small chance this player would lay down A-K or A-A. I was hoping that my aggressive flop play + how he perceived me (very tight passive) + this turn checkraise would convince him I had to have set and induce a fold. This was probably wishful thinking.


I guess one small benefit of the turn checkraise was that it got him to check the river after I checked. He showed aces and said he thought I had him beat.
