I really am supposed to go broke

No you really did the right thing, you had the right read.
If you were checking and didn't know WHY, then you would have reason to be concerned. But you had a good read, and more importantly you TRUSTED your read. My problem is that I have great reading skills, I just don't always trust them. Which is why NL drives me up the fkin wall and I usually stick to Limit [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

On another note, to me (and I am far from a NL expert) it was this player playing poorly. Checking Aces on the turn to trap you on the river, PERHAPS. But when you check the river, he HAS to push it or at least make a good sized bet there to make some money on his hand. He gave you a free river on your two outer and a free showdown. The real question is, if he makes a good sized bet (half the pot, let's say) do you FOLD? That might be the real reason you didnt go broke, because he didnt bet it [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
