Re: 5/10 party - top pair with meh kicker
You don't give the stack sizes (always important) but when he calls your checkraise there are 3 things possible: a) he can beat you, b) he has QQ-TT or middle pair and thinks you might be making a move with a drawing hand, or c) he is drawing himself. I would check/call as you did on the turn as well. What I would have done differently, though it is risky, is to bet the river around 400 since he might not like that A any more than you did, and if he called and beat me well that's poker. (It is important to keep in mind this is a very short table.)
