Re: 2006max flopped boat against a tricky opp too tight on river?
I think there's a possibiliy your tough opponent realizes that you can probably bluff at a board that looks great for a SB. I think that he may have stuck around after the flop because his plan was to play back at you a little to see if he could push you off the winning hand. Then, on the turn, his hand really improved, so he had incentive to draw instead of try and just bluff you out. Finally, the check on the river was made because a) your check was scary and confusing; and b) he suspected that he had a winner and didn't want to open the door for you to go ovet the top if he bet out.
Sure, you could worry about 77 or 44, but I wouldn't. I think that most of the time people play back at you on the turn with these hands fearing that a flat call will scare non-premium hands into checking the river. Which, of course, it did...
