The Villan was a complete fish - one of the worst I've seen. Played Ace-rags constantly and had no concept of odds. I had a strong feeling that my kings were good until the river, where I was worried about him calling me down with Ace-rag. Did I play this one ok?

Bomb the turn

I would've raised the turn probably...and I also would've bet the river probably. Any ace would have bet first...you might get a call out of a queen, and you avoid showing your hand.

Bet some more on the flop.

Definitely raise the turn!

River check is ok but I would consider a small valuebet (1/4-1/3 pot or so) and insta-fold if he raises because its a microscopic chance he would raise without the ace because he will be very afraid you have one.

Don't you have a better kicker here?

Indeed, MattB2517 -&gt; Check the original Hand History. If it shows the same Party has a seeeeerious bug.

Please let us know if so and contact PartyPoker about the issue!

Push the turn, maniac/fish will call

You got hosed if you split the pot with him! Why no raise on the turn? I'm trying to get it all-in there.

As played the river check behind is fine, I can't see any sane person calling a bet without an A or K.

Re-raise the turn and checking that river is ok to me.
