50-50 on this being AA and another overpair.

I think the turn raise is bad, and I'm pretty sure the turn cap is bad. Since he can be probably 99% sure that AA is good, and since if he has QQ or worse, he should strongly fear you having AA/KK, I think you're basically in a win one/lose two scenario every time you reopen the betting here (since he's almost never 3-betting with a worse hand, and he's always 3-betting with a better hand).After he caps from the SB preflop after all that EP aggression, I'm weighting his range heavily toward AA/KK/QQ. I like the flop raise, as we can expect worse overpairs to 3-bet to knock out UTG, but after that I'm just calling down as long as he keeps betting.

Why not cap the flop?That was, he's defining his hand with his turn action, really. It also limits us from putting in a ton of bets way behind.Ie, we cap the flop, and if he still leads the turn, we can simply call down. If he checks, we can bet/call the turn, call river.

This is the line I like the most.

So you feel I raised twice when I shouldn't have?Your line would get 2 big bets in rather than the 5 in my line.

Why not cap the flop?

Only because I wanted to raise the turn to put more money into the pot.

Yes, capping the flop would have been much safer.By slowplaying the flop slightly, and attempting to get more profit on the turn, I risk losing more as well.--cm

Is this an error or do you really fold in this huge pot to a river check raise?

I will never argue for folding to 1 river bet in a huge pot.Calling down is never an enormous error.Having said that, nothing that I beat ever check-raises me on this river after all the aggression I have shown.In fact , most of the hands that crush me don't even check-raise.AA doesn't check-raise.Trips won't check-raise.The straight doesn't check-raise.The nut-flush might not even check-raise me at this point.A check-raise very likely means the Full House.--cm
