I Knew What You Had

[Jeffage]

80 hand. Main villian is a very strong player and plays better than I do. There, I can admit that much. Anyway...

Strong player opens for a raise in the cutoff. Loose player on the button coldcalls, SB folds and I go ahead and make it three bets with AK. Both of my opponents call and we see the flop three ways. Flop is Q-10-3 rainbow. I bet and only the strong player calls. The turn is a 4. I bet again and he calls. River is another ten (Q-10-3-4-10). I check, he sprays in a bet fast. I think for a second and he says, "I was ahead the whole time, believe me. I knew what you had, I wanted you to keep giving your money away." Anyway, I fold (I was going to anyway bf this diatribe). He shows 10-9. Is there anything to discuss here? Would you bet the flop and turn close to 100% of the time in this spot. What if the river truly blanked...are you check-calling?

Thanks,
Jeff
