That was a classic SEMI-BLUFF with top pair. LOL!

God just killed a kitten because AA was slow played

How to cost yourself $700 with pocket aces:

1. Check a Q-x-x, two-suited flop and allow your opponent to take a free card
2. Make a small bet on the turn, allowing your opponent to draw cheaply
3. Check the river when the flush draw hits, then call a massive overbet by the made flush

You can't look for player reactions when the flop (and turn, and river) hit, because the camera goes in for an unnecessary closeup of the board. The card-reader-person has gotten plenty fast enough to do away with that shot entirely. The graphic at the bottom is quick enough.

this is gross

Great to see Morey in this game...he's an awesome player!

I agree with Jennifer on the play with QT on the Q-Q-A board. You are not going to win any money unless someone has an ace, the case queen with a worse kicker, or a flush draw (generally). If you make a bet on the flop, you will probably get called by a flush draw and maybe by an ace, and if you fill up on the turn, you can check there and make it appear as though you were just trying to pick up the pot on the flop or you yourself was on a flush draw. When the flush draw doesn't hit, you may get a bet by an ace or a total bluff by somebody else.

The days of limping on the flop have ending, let the age of raising begin. Glad Seat 7 came in

Fastplaying is the new slowplaying. Nobody told these guys, though.

Easy muck of JJ.
