If there are any readers, tell me what you think of my thought process here throughout this hand.
preflop riase is a bit on the loose side, but whatever. Flop is standard, and the turn is fantasic where I can rep an AK/KQ type hand and get him to fold a large part of his range. I also have the nut flush draw.
Now, given his action, the timing of his calls, etc, I thought there was a really good chance he was drawing. If that's the case, my ace high is good unless he picked up a stupid pair along the way, but that makes his hand about as good as air as far as HE'S concerned.
River completes 67 and QJ straight draws. Well J7 too, but who calls my UTG raise in UTG+1 with J7. Anyway, if he does have a draw he's going to either check behind and I'm going to be good, or he's going to take a stab at it and fold to my check/push. Bdawg didn't like my line, but whatever.
Apparantly my line REALLY looked like QJ, b/c he went into the tank a long time and finally mucked [edit: and by mucked, I obviously mean called
]. I'll admit, I could easily have something like QJ clubs here, and this is the perfect type of river to c/r, where your hand is very well hidden. Oh well. Maybe next time.
