Thanks for all the comments people.

I really appreciate bbartlog. Not for agreeing with me, but for standing up against everyone who thinks we are complete morons.

I think calling on the flop after I'm raised is warranted. There are 10 SB's in the pot. It only takes one more to chase low. I think the way I played it gives me the odds to chase. I wish I had a back door flush draw, but I do have a backdoor broadway. I know the board is paired, but we're being optimistic.

Let me give an example of hands the villian could have. However unlikely you think they are
1) A mere 5.
2) A flush draw
3) A running low draw
4) bluffing because he thinks i missed.

I have under 30 hands with player so I have no idea how he plays. I'm typically playing about 4 games at a time at the 10-20 level. I also believe it is a call on the meta game level as I don't want to be someone who he thinks I can be pushed off the flop.

Don't know how I feel about turn. I'm ahead of everything if he's not full or has a queen. I slow down to play it safe.

On the river I check. I might be able to bet and move him off a bad low, but I check with the idea of calling simply because I don't believe he has a queen and I want to see what he played.

The villian has a A35J.

Tuco, you are right about playing for half based on the hands I posted. I don't post all my great plays and brilliant stuff where you hit the wraps and the sets filling. I only post hands that might have evidence I'm a donkey. Still trying to slay the inner donkey.

Sorry for the delay in responses. Took the weekend off for awesome NFL action.
