AK?.....

Pretty stellar (or stupid?) call down seeing as any pocket pair, Q, J, 7, 5 or diamond beats him.

Never play limit just wanted to take a guess.

AK ?

Why betting on the river?

Amazing play by button..

I'd play it the same way.

What do you think you did wrong?

yes, A K .

it's the one time where i bet the river with ace high, heads-up out of position.

good/bad?

i feel that if i misplayed the hand, the river is where i did. i think i should have check/folded, but i'm not sure.

That diamond gives you enough fold equity to make it a profitable bet.

And even though you lost the hand, the info you gained sure helped with the value bets.

I'm sure it helped your table image also.
