Earlier 2 tough hands:
I had 21k coming into the final hand before the break. 50/100 blinds. Early position makes it 250, I find AA in the BB. Folds to me, I make it 800, he calls.
Flop: AcQs3c
I bet 1100. He calls.
Turn 5d.
I want to bet here, but I'm thinking the flop call means he has either an ace or flush draw, and my a check looks like I'm waving the white flag with TT/JJ/KK. So I check.
He checks.
River Js.
I bet 4k. He thinks for a minute or two and calls. I show AA, he yells, "FUCK!!! FUCK!!"
Then he turns to his friend (who was ready to walk with him during break) and says, "I had AQ. I could've lost way more."
He then tweeted about the hand, so I'm pretty sure he wasn't lying. (He wasn't aware I was reading his Twitter.)
After the break he told me he was going to re-raise me if I bet the turn. Damn.
Would you have bet that turn or tried for a check-raise?
I'm kinda thinking now that betting would be better, as it would induce a raise from AQ/QQ/33, and he would be committed enough by that raise to call my shove at that point. But on the other hand, if he has a flush draw here and bets it, then I can get him committed in that way, and perhaps if he has a naked A.
