I like your raise, kinda looks like an attempt to steal, but not really, good stuff.

When you checked the flop were you scared of the flop or were you trying to check raise/trap him?

If his raises were smaller I woulda maybe tried to check raise him maybe on the turn and see where I was at. If he re raised me all-in I would fold if just called I would think he was on some kind of draw. He's throwing some heavy firepower out there which makes check raising to see where your at not very practical imo.

I probly would have bet the flop, its scary that its all paint, but its probly just as scary for him I put him on some pocket pair or A/K of course pocket kings/queens/jacks are scary but if he re raises you have a pretty good Idea of what he has.

His bets were good, I would have put him on a busted draw when he didn't go all-in on the turn.

Checking and calling is my play once past the flop, I would have bet say 800 on the flop. Nice but easy for me to get away from if he re raises me way more (4000+). I would wager that if you make the bet on the flop it slows down his bets as well. Its a hard case tho, hard to get away from pocket aces [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
