Was this too loose an all-in vs. a big stack?
The villain in this hand is a large stack who has been throwing his weight around. he has been raising people off hands, or so it appeared, since building a large stack early on, but has not shown down too many hands. In this particular hand in the heat of battle I felt sure I made the right play.
