  2. yes maybe don't yell out that your waiting for a diamond.. your not fooling anybody
  3. Well, since we don't know what he has, it's hard to say (I also hate the yelling out for a diamond. Problem is, I think you end up giving up inadvertant tells that way unless your careful. Some players can do it, I'd rather not.

    Here, I think your read is off. I think both AA and AK call your bet there. Unless he had a solid read on you, I think it's a mistake to fold either one of those hands to your average donk at this level (don't know if your a donk or not, but at $2, I assume everyone is until I get a read otherwise).

    So, without knowing his hand, it's hard to tell if you could extract anything else. Maybe you didn't want to see a river card anyway. From the way played, I could easily see something like a JJ or a 1010 type hand. He thought you might be calling without the King (with no reraise and the check on the turn). Once you bet the turn heavy, he knows he's beat, so why call.
