I think I would have called the river, there's too much in the pot.

Checking the flop wouldn't have been bad.

I check the river and call a reasonable bet. He's been calling you the whole way, he might actually have a hand.

And call a bet to what size? I honestly felt most hands he could have held had me beat.

Maybe I'm wrong but I felt I was better off trying to put in a blocking bet of T225 and folding to a raise. Granted my less than 1/2 pot bet does show some weakness. In my experience most river raises are very real. I've taken the lead the entire hand so far. I just have a hard time seeing someone coming over the top of me so early in a tourney without having me beat. Overall this hand had me really confused.

Btw, how did you do in the 45K last night on Stars? I was the one who paid off your quad tens.

Re: ***OFFICIAL Party 500K***
 

Out already... when am I supposed to bail from this one? Villian had been in a lot of hands and was a suspected bully. Is check-call all the way a terrible line?

Talk about me dodging a bullet here...correctly threw away AKs and it turned out I was up against AA and KK. Fortunately for KK guy the case K hit on the flop...

I generally don't fold after raising, I tend to wait for another to act. But assuming guy pushed you or something, I like the line.
