Hero checks

I left out the rest of the river action because I think it would only prejudice the discussion. If he checked, that was the end of it; if he bet, I called.

Comments on my play?

It is hard to say without a played descripion, but i dont like the three bet on the turn unless he is a maniac. He either has before you learn that he just calls your three bet you are faced with teh possible hands of AK/AA, which has you in bad shape, or KK/1010, which has you dead. I think he calls because he has AK/AA and fears your possible set/two pair.

Really the only hand he can have that you beat is KJ/QQ or a bluff.

Checking the river is bad without opponent specific information (e.g. he's prone to calling a turn 3-bet with nothing and will fire a hopeless bluff into the pot if checked to on the river [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] ).
