Re: I make a silly play postflop, and try to justify it.....

I do think the river play is close becuz of the pot size. With 10BB's in there we dont have to fold a pocket pair very often for this bet to be profitable. And lets not forget that our hand ties all Ax hands, so getting another Ax to fold would be a huge victory also. Im not saying that betting the river is better than a check down, but that river card + large pot size + credibility of strength hero has gained from his combined play on the three earlier streets leads me to conclude that hero's river play is "Ok".

I would never bet this river. But you make a good case for it here. It's something I'm going to try to add. Whether it works is highly dependant on your image of course. With a poor image you're the SB, as described, is never folding a pair. With a good image and a short history of winning w/o SD it's reasonable.
