AKs

[Taciturn]

I have no stats on villain, and no real read. I don't like the way I played this hand.

His preflop raise made me think that he had AA or KK. However, since this is 6max, his hand range might have been wider. When an ace hit the flop, I thought AA was rather unlikely, and that I was probably in the lead. I'll probably be criticized for my flop check: I really thought he had KK, and that I might get something out of him by checking. In retrospect, this was a mistake. The turn and river bets were so small because I thought that I was either well ahead or well behind - and since KK was the most likely hand, I thought I should extract a little.

Anyone fold preflop? To the river raise?
