Wow. I have lots to learn still. I play every street different.

I 3bet push preflop. If I called, I lead the flop. If I got to the turn this way, I bet the turn. If I got to the river this way, I check call the river to maximize value from an ace that bets behind, and minimize my risk of being check raised from the aces kings, or completely retardedly played boat.

My way isn't definitely the right way. I don't love 4-bet pushing PF. I'd much rather call and crai on a friendly board (which was the plan). Normally, I definitely would bet the turn, but for some reason I decided to check it to disguise my hand. I thought it was rare for someone to check behind twice here, even with overs. On the river, as played, I REALLY don't like checking because I think we get AK to call and he very rarely has KK/AA here.

I'd probably puke then call...because one of my many leaks is that I get stubborn with my reads...if I put him on ak then I stick with it even if a raise on the river surprises me like this.

Re: PS 50/50: When Only 1 Hand Beats You
 

Yeah, it reeaally feels like he has AK or 88-TT here. That is a strange raise on the river, but I think you have to call and just laugh when he shows four jacks.

Re: PS 50/50: When Only 1 Hand Beats You
 

I can understand just calling the re-raise PF but not betting the flop or turn is a disaster waiting to happen.

Re: PS 50/50: When Only 1 Hand Beats You
 

I'm definitely not capable of waiting until the river to bet. After the CR plan on the flop didn't work, I'm betting the turn. Maybe a case of FPS for Kramer? I think you can buy a cream for that Cosmo.

Only 1 hand? Are you sure about that?
