As you see he didn't check-raise the flop or the turn (with AK I'd usually do it on the turn and get the crying call on the river)...BUT I CHECKED THE FREAKIN' RIVER!
Granted he may not even consider calling, but at PP 1/2 I'd say there's at least at 50 per cent chance I get the call. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB
I think Ed Miller is going to recall the copy of SSHE that I'm 2/3 of the way through. It's helping...I just have to stop freaking out when the pots get big or the board is scary.
