Thing was, on the river I would've called Wookie - although I erroneously put him on KK-AA, in my mind there was a good chance he didn't have a diamond.

It was the SB's raise that got to me - there had to be SOME reason he hung in all that way, and I (again erroneously) presumed it was a weak A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. (It turned out to be low unconnected crap, but with a diamond, making his raise a complete mystery. But he was a veteran.)

If I 3-bet those queens, Wookie goes passive or folds, on the river I only have an SB donkbet to contend with, and I call expecting to lose but with odds on my side. OTOH, if Wookie does have KK or AA, he caps me, and I feel much better about that river fold.
