Final Pot: t1445
My thinking on each street was something like this:
Preflop: OK, a coldcall from a later position, OK he probably has a decent hand, Ax or PP.
Flop. Just a call on a bet that is fairly small bet relative to the pot. Maybe he has a weak ace and is too worried about his kicker to reraise.
Turn. I am shutting down, thinking he has a weak ace. Then he checks behind me. Slowplay or weakness? After this check I don't really know where I am.
River. OK, there's the third ace. This gives me a fairly strong full house. If he is on a PP rather than the fourth ace, I probably have him beat. I lay out a small bet and I am reraised.
Comments anyone? Results come later.
