why the small bets?

Umm why didnt you get all in with this hand? A perfect example of slow playing costing you money.

Because normally when you have AA, and hit an A on the flop your opponent isn't going to have much. I was trying to induce a bluff on his part, so when he raised me $20 on the turn that's what I figured had happened. I didn't reraise him right there because if he was bluffing, I wouldn't get anymore money by reraising him.

I elected to pause for a while and then call. I was hoping something on the river would allow him to call a big bet. Turns out my play wasn't needed as he would have gladly been all-in on the flop, but normally this is the play I have to use when I flop a monster like that.

Bet small, induce a bluff, let them catch up.

I'm surprised his opponent didn't move in..

The results are slightly off.

River: ($105) J (2 players)
MP bets $65, MP calls $118.73.

It shows him bet $65 and then call my all-in for $118 more. I did go all-in. Had I known his hand I would have been all-in on the turn, but I was trying to induce a bluff and figured it was very hard for him to have an actual hand right now. Either the case A or the 9, which I couldn't see him calling $15 preflop with a 9 in his hand, unless he had 99.

Couldnt tell you got all in because the stack sizes you gave and then the size of the pot didnt make sense.

Too bad he didnt grill you with quad nines. IN YOUR FACE KGB

Seriously though, you were going to get his money either way after that turn card. I don't think you are asking for any advice or criticism on this hand though, so I won't give any [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]
