AA - very basic

looks good to me. I think i might bet 10 more on the river....anything that calls that turn checkraise is probably calling 30 on the river too. If he hit a runner runner flush, that just sucks.

I don't think I've ever made a checkraise like this. villain is pretty LAGish I guess? can someone elaborate on this?

I've actually started doing this quite a bit lately with fantastic results. First I hate getting bet at when i've whiffed the flop and my continuation bet was called. Now when I check the turn, I get a lot more check behinds since i've been checkraising the turn. Also, it's just a good way to get money in.

If they called your flop bet, they probably have a hand...fairly safe that if you check the turn, they'll think you missed. What is even more astounding, is that I don't think I've gotten one fold to my turn checkraise, and I've been called with some quite ridiculous holdings. They just cannot fold to checkraises on the turn....great way to get money in and probably very underused.

those are really good points. I don't think I'll try to use it at my 25nl tables, though. can't wait to move up. (although in some ways I definately can...)

He is against a calling station. Against calling stations get as much in as you can on every street.

What's the reasoning for check/raising the turn? I feel like it should be attempted maybe 15% of the time, to mix up play. If you don't think he has anything after the flop, do you anticipate him calling the checkraise?

I would bet 30 on the river, after he called the raise I think...

I think I raise more preflop, pot the flop, pot the turn, push the river.

Isura, if you are going to call a push on the river, you pretty much always want to be the one to get the money in there first. This is more true earlier in the hand, but you still have "some" folding equity by pushing the river.

The only time I can think of when I'd rather check is against a LAG with the nuts. I might not want to take LAG's opportunity to pull off what he thinks is a steal attempt

not true at all, specially not in this case

Without even seeing the results, we know that Villian folded and Hero won this pot.

This tells us Hero had the best hand the whole time. I think Hero played it well no argument from me. But I like a push here as opposed to checking and calling a push.
