Really, you shouldn't be complaining. Be damn happy you got to split the pot.

AA getting screwed is when you go up against KK and the river gives the other person a set. Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. smile.gif

Pre-flop was capped, that board didn't worry me until the river.

True. Like I said with my edit, like many other people, I've had AA cracked and lost the entire pot more than just once or twice. I don't see splitting the pot as getting screwed having gone through the aforementioned experience. Different strokes. smile.gif

Here's an interesting thought: Why not fire at the river one more time?

Granted, any reasonable player is (Correctly) going to say "What the hell could you have that includes a seven that you would play that aggressively?" and call you, but if you're confident enough HE doesn't have a seven, it's a gamble worth taking IMO. People are silly sometimes, and it's surprising what they'll fold to if you give them the opportunity.

That said, given the texture of the board, I wouldn't have been at all surprised if the clown had made a straight before the river and that 5 was actually your saving grace.

yup..sucks to split that pot.....but why not take a shot at the river.....you could be reasonably certain he doesnt have a 7 so he prob calls you but its basically a free roll to take one more shot at it at the river......dn wrote about a pot he took from a guy when the board made a straight he flipped his hand up and said striaght instead of i play the board and he won the pot.....i know this example wouldn't work on the internet but a bet might make him fold
