Re: another low type hand
[ QUOTE ]
At this level the preflop raise almost always means AA or A2. With the board containing an A and my having an A I thought the chances of him having both other aces decreases. I put him on a counterfited low and if I made a low I was trying to force him out with the checkraise.

That's good thinking, but the problem is if the Lo's counterfeited then he's made A's up, and if it isn't he's had you out kicked on the flop, and likely got A's up on turn. Remember most of the cards are dealt out, and most players folded, so actually AAxx, your A45x and an A on the flop are more likely than you'ld expect.
I think you're only going to fold out a busted 'Lo' + pair hand, and you have that beat on the river anyway, so there's no value in raising.
