Thought process and results.
Okay, here's how I thought things out during the hand:
Preflop: Hey, I have two cards. Raise. When he cold-called I figured he had something, probably a couple of high cards. Given the blinds, any made hand was probably pushing here. In any case I wasn't too worried here.
Flop: Villain checks. Again, up to this point I'd been autobetting every flop, and didn't want to get CRed here.
Turn: Hey, a pair! Villain checks. Okay, what does that tell me about his hand? First, it says that the flop missed him entirely. Top pair or an overpair might go for the CR once, but there's no way he is going to risk a second free card. By this logic, I'm ahead, right? So make a standard c-bet, one street late.
Villain CRs: Again, I'm pretty sure I'm ahead here, and I've got the villain drawing to six outs at most. Agreed I should have just gotten my chips in here, but I called.
River: He pushes. 4:1 on my call no brainer.
Villain had ATo.
Where this really paid off, was Shania. The table went nuts, and one player said, "Okay, no bluffing."
