snake is a solid high stakes regular who I probably shouldn't be playing heads up but I ran really good vs him for our first few hundred hands so I am stickin around, giving action.
this hand was pretty tough. I think preflop, flop, and turn are pretty straightforward. river is the hardest part. it's basically just a question of how often he's bluffing and what types of hands he would take this line with that would result in a river bluff. it's impossible that he's trying to value bet a worse hand (QJ) from my experience with him.

Sometimes I re-raise here with the button but I decided to keep pot smaller because I definately didn't want to get 4bet preflop and reverse implied odds

Oh yeah! A flush draw! Hmmmm that's a tricky sized check raise. I would kind of expect a bigger c-r with monsters as he is giving me great odds to draw
