Default Re: 600/1200 river

I am surprised that he checkcalled the river with 54 when you had 66. Your play on the earlier streets should not have had him thinking "yikes, that bastard schnieds has a boat"

Anyway, that history is relevant to your AQ hand and it makes a bet from you more appealing as it's unlikley that he is planning on checkraising you with JT (this is particularly so if the Ace on the flop was not a spade as he then has to consider the possibility that you put in 3 bets on the turn on the strength of an ace/two pairs with a nut flush draw. This is so even though you did not call his turn 3 bet instantly as the rest of us schmucks tend to do when we have a flush draw)

At the end of the day, leaving aside all mental gymnastics (which only you can properly assess as you were there), a check on the end here means that he doesn't like his hand. If he had JT, I think he bets. If he had AK, I think he bets.

He didn't bet. So, you should.
