Final Pot: t795

The villain in this hand is not an idiot. That doesn't mean he's a winner or anything, but he's not a total moron.

This line looks so weak it hurts, but I really feel like I get c/r'd alot in this spot. That would be fine in that I could fold knowing I'm beat, if it weren't for the fact that AK will play like that alot and I don't want to be blown off my hand... by my hand. I also feel like the flop isn't quite way ahead or way behind, but it's close, so giving free cards to hands like JJ or AQ isn't a big deal and I think maximizes my EV against them anyways. I think the flop can safely be a check, but I guess I'm more interested in what people think of the turn check. I was betting the river for 2/3 pot if checked to.
