Re: playing aces

You got insanely lucky on the river, not only that it went bet/raise in front of you again, but also that both players paid off. River check/raises (or check/3bets) make baby Jebus smile, but whiffing on 'em when one or more opponents would clearly have called a bet makes baby Jebus pour sugar in your gas tank.

I've missed bets here before and it is painful.
At the time my thought was "one of these suckers is going to bet, I can probably get 2 bets out of this". Getting 3 bets in and not having run into another set _is_ insanely lucky. Calling the 2 bets when it got back to me would have been wiser.
The fact a couple of draws are present on the turn (two hearts and the JT) works in my favour, semi-bluffing is so popular, I believe they think I had a huge draw (on the turn) and had missed when I checked the river.
