this is worth highlighting, imo. what are you trying to rep with your line? AA with clubs? some sort of 2p/draw hand? none of that really makes sense here (since you're betting that kind of flop with all of that), and i think you get raised an icky amount of the time with that weird bet if you're playing good players.
Clearly I wanted to turn my decent holdings (on the flop) into weak holdings by checking and allowing an over card to fall. Once that card came, I decided to bluff my way out of the pickle I got myself into by checking the flop. Of course the miracle river falls... as does my opponent's hand... into the muck.

In truth, it was a simple misjudgement of "I have been continuation betting too much and am uninterested in parlaying this hand into a large pot... Hmm... seems like a good place to check." I stopped playing shortly after this hand after I correctly came to the conclusion that my attention was flagging and I wasn't playing my 'A' game.
