Big ooooops. I'ld been floating him and stealing a lot and he'ld caught me once recently. I think I played this correctly given the history, but it sure looks bad.

I really think my river bet is right, but the call in questionable.

I dont like this :/
As far as I can tell, you have no idea where you stand in this hand on river since you flat flop/turn. Also, the river bet committed yourself. If you think you're getting a call from A high here, then value bet at 18 is fine. Although I'd argue 18 is probably too much for A high to pay you off.

Yeah, I would never normally play the hand this way but I'ld been calling in posistion and floating this guy on the flop a lot and he had started to catch on so I pretty much have to call a turn bet. When he checks to me on the river I'm pretty sure I am getting called by any pair and Ace hi, but I ended up commiting myself. I also didn't want to raise the flop becouse I get a lot more value out of forcing him to fire a second bullet. My feeling was that he'ld reached the point where he was ready to do this.

I don't know. Becouse he had a huge hand it's hard to say, but my take on this guy was that he was starting to get really frustrated with being floated.

here's how I play
re-raise preflop
bet flop
bet turn, get scared by turn call
shut down river
