I like this because the value of my opponent’s hand is so clearly capped (if he had a QQ+ or AK, he’d have shoved pre-flop, if he had a set he’d have shoved before the river) while I’ve shown strength at every opportunity. The river K is icing on the cake, connecting with AK, the single most plausible hand he was still beating on the turn with whatever pocket pair he had.
I imagine he realized all of this as well, because he tanked for a really long time but eventually gave it up.
Just wanna say this is by far the best poker blog. Read it everyday. Just wish I could afford your poker coaching. Maybe someday.
