Default Another Jim Brier hand

This was in the Wynn 40/80 game a few weeks ago. I think the game was 7 handed at the time.

Jim Brier was directly to my left. I didn't know that he was Jim Brier at the time, but I had been playing with him for a while and saw that he was a very good tight/aggressive player. I assume he had the same judgement of me - I hadn't played many hands. I also realized that he was probably a pro because he was talking to another player named "Rolla" or "Rollo" about his plans for Tunica and was saying that Ciaffone was going to stay with him during the WSOP main event.

Anyway, I raise UTG with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Jim 3-bets, everyone folds and I call.

The flop was: 2 2 2

I check, Jim bets, I call.

The turn was a blank, I checked, Jim checked.

The river was another blank, I checked, Jim checked.

I won't give the results yet. I probably should have folded the flop, but I haven't written any books. I don't understand the way Jim played this hand.

brier has AK or AQ and AK is a clear cut value bet on that river. not betting the turn is weak but maybe not horrible, it's closer than it may appear. yoru call on the flop is very horrible.

Whats with his turn check? You would think he'd at least bet this river.

???he didnt have AK? if he got funky PF with something dumb, i think he 100% should bet the turn. flop calls mean nothing.

I'm guessing he had AK and figured he would get checkraised very often by a pocket pair and that he doesn't really need to protect his hand because if he is ahead, Max probably only has three outs (plus some chop outs).

He saw 2 cards for 1 SB so horrible might be a little strong.
