Re: Playing back at high card raiser at final table
By letting you take the betting lead he lets you trap yourself. If he reraises on 3rd or checkraises on 4th, you might get away from the hand.
I'd probably have done the same thing with the plans to raise you on 5th street. When he makes his open pair, that plan won't work so he just bets out and hopes you call.
On 5th street, I don't see how you are pot committed though. When he bets out, you have to give him credit for 2 pair, and possibly Ks up. Why not just fold 5th? Yes, you've lost a lot of chips, but you have several thousand left; save them for a better spot.
I don't mind playing back at high card reraisers, he could easily have been stealing with crap.
You got what you wanted with your isolation reraise, but he improved before you did. By continuing, you allowed yourself to be further trapped. If he has 2 small pair you are an underdog. If he has Ks up you are in deep trouble.
