Wouldn’t barreling the turn & river have been better? The A is such a good card to fire away at, and I’m sure he knows that. I would expect you could get 2 more streets of value out of any hand that has a halfway decent ace, and 1 more street out of any hand with a pair.
Still, getting paid on river check raises which are kinda thin is awesome.
Possibly, but it’s also a card I expected him to barrel at. I was looking to check-raise the turn, and when that whiffed, I figured most of the hands that can call a bet are going to bet the river themselves. And yeah, this is way more fun in any event!
