Re: Check behind with aces?
Thanks for the responses all!
My thought here was that it was possible he was 3-betting putting me on overcards or going for a draw (but the draw would make a lot more sense if he was in position), but more likely that he was telling me he had at worst a ten and more likely top pair or better. Also no flush draw was available so the only realistic draws are probably KJ or (less likely) J9 and I'm not too worried about giving a free card to KJ as an ace wins me a ton of money.
When he checked the turn after I capped the flop I felt that it was quite likely he was looking to check/raise me. I really wanted to show this down against an unknown and figured I'd save 2 bets when behind and probably lose 0-1 when ahead.
I ended up checking behind and calling the river bet.
Villian flipped over QTs for the full house.
