Just be happy that a 3, Q or non-club 4 didn't fall on the river.

Is this the wave of future HH's to come?

Can you explain this OOP raise with AA5x followed by a check-call(pot) on a 2-high flop. I am very confused by this line.

Because i'm a better player than you? I get dealt double suited aces and you think simply because i'm out of position I shouldn't raise? Eh? That's a great flop for me, because it clearly should have missed the other players.
People love betting their button with nothing, because they fully expect to get a free card on the turn if someone calls. I will call if I think i'm ahead, and then if i think i'm still ahead on the turn will always bet into them if it means all-in .

Quite possibly, even probably. But that doesn't explain your line of thinking. If you don't care to share your line of thinking, then this thread was worthless. What a shocker.

EDIT: I see you have now gone back to expand upon your post above. Thank you.

If you think there is only one way of playing a certain hand then you need to stop playing. My actions depend on plenty of factors, like my notes on other players, what they think I have etc. If I just bet out all my hands that I think i'm ahead on then that would be far too obvious, likewise if I check raise, then it gives the opportunity for people to get away from their terrible hands where they would otherwise put the rest of their chips in on the turn.
