4/8 B&M; ATs huge flop (check-up)
Table is oddly tight for our usual 4/8 B&M game. 10 players. This is early in my sit. For the first 5-6 hands it's been only 3-5 to the flop...4 is common tonight. Raises are clearing out the field pretty good.
Villain is aggressive, with undeserving and deserving hands. Cold-calling is standard. The only thing discernable from the CC is that he doesn't have complete crap. He'd re-raise with TT+, AQ+.
And once the flop action finished, there was maybe a 5% chance he'd fold the river.
Normal cap is 4 bets...unlimited raising heads up.

Hero checks, Villain checks
I was ready to go to the moon on the flop (villain had about 15 BB in his stack, I cover).
The turn, I kept leading, but upon reflection this bet seems useless because it's no longer for value. It's a semi-bluff into a player who isn't going to fold. I wanted to stay aggressive (I'm really working on that) but I think this was unnecessary. However, he almost certainly would have bet the turn if I checked.
The river...I can't imagine I'm calling any bet by him.
