Re: Been a while since I had one of these, line check
[ QUOTE ]
A check on the flop and a smooth call on the turn, I'd probably put him on something like KQ with one diamond or maybe a middle pocket pair. So I think you played it fine, just out of curiosity, when you checked, do you recall if you had a plan for if he bet the flop?
On the river, even though I believe you are ahead, I like the check b/c I can't imagine he would call you with much you can beat. IMO a very strong player is going to smell weakness here and probably make a position play for the pot, but you're average party player at this buy-in wont have the fortitude for that kind of move (trust me, I know, I'm one of them).

I mean, throughout this hand I'm worried that he has such a big stack and can put me all in whenever he wants. I pretty much went into WA/WB mode on this flop, so if he bet a reasonable amount on the flop, I'd just call, and check the turn to him UI. I just don't know, having those flush outs really makes things wierd b/c I know a push back to a flop bet is gonna get called, and I'n not sure how much more comfortable the flush outs make me. Same with the river, I just pretty much planned to play this hand as WA/WB.
On the river I checked not so much thinking that he wasn't going to call a bet as I don't want to get raised, and would rather call a reasonable bet from him (which I expected).
