I really dont think hes trapping me , so I kept firing, although the river bet is a bit insane.

How did the hand turn out?

Personally with no reads I obviously don't mind the continuation bet, and then I don't even mind the turn bet. I probably give up on the river though. After he calls the turn bet it seems like he's slowplaying a monster or simply has your number and calling with TPAK or even 2nd pair.

He's not afraid of a Pair of aces. Maybe he has KJ or KT which would give him the strait draw, but you are probably beat.

You might get him off something like A5. Actually, his chip stack, the more I look at it the more I like it.

It looks like he has a weak Ace or KQ or KJ. I like the bet and I make it most of the time. You've fired three bullets, he has to put you on a monster.

I doubt it very much that he slowpayed a big hand here.

Yeh, this hand while was a little while back now lol...But he did fold. I didn't think he was trapping, I felt he had A Rag at best.

The river bet is ridiculous. There are better spots than that.........

The thing I don't like about it, is that its not clear what he is calling with on the flop that he folds on the river. I'd say his possibilities include medium pocket pairs, KQ, and weak aces. This play is very nice when he has those hands because hes folding that river UI considering his stack vs. your stack.

The problem is that you don't have position here and really you're kind of lost postflop, especially since this is online and you're ability to pick up tells is substantially weakened.

I didn't feel I was lost at all. If he flopped bottom set or A-4, A-9 he was pushing the turn. And if he can call 3 streets of bets with something like Ax or KQ then well played to him , he passed my test.

You're right though, there definitely are better spots and I perhaps should have shut down after the turn call. I agree. But I really wasn't lost post flop. It was just a case of hoping he'd lay down what I felt he had.
