    [SIZE=2]I elected to just call eljays min raise pre and play a flop in pos vs him rather than 3bet and be faced with a tough decision if he elects to 4bet. i have no reads on him at the momment on eljay. When shipthis puts in a big 3bet my line of thinking was he is really strong. i know he is capably of making a move. because i have played with him b4 and he is really aggro. when eljay calls my thinking was just to set mine rather than 4bet. i hit the set and decided to check thinking that shipthis would bet his entire range. when he checks i ranged him on AKAQ. then i put out a bet on the turn of a little less than half pot and he calls. i checked on the river and planed on calling any bet. after the hand i felt like i played it horrible in many ways. i would like to hear your thoughts and how you would of played this hand....[/SIZE]

    I like your line on the flop...damn shame he didn't do what you wanted him to.

    If you checked the turn with the intention of calling any bet...then I don't understand your question. Personally, I'm leading out again on the river, because I don't think he's calling your turn bet with the diamonds or 88, so I'm not scared of those hands. My biggest concern is he re-sucked out with QQ.

    But checking to induce a bet is reasonable, and I'm pretty much snap-calling every time.

    My range to overshove that river has your set of tens crushed!! I just cant put him on a hand you beat. Is a reg really shoving air here? Fold and move on.
