Re: hero runs bad...freezes and forgets how to play cards??!!
I think this is a push pre, because you have FE + you're happy if he has a midpair putting 18K to win ~24K (if he calls with 99/1010/JJ). 7K in the pot, 16K remaining is gonna be a [censored] spot. Having AsQs in position here really isn't that great.
Interesting flop for him not to bet. Given the action, wtf is he not betting 88, 1010, QQ, JJ, A9 for on the flop? Even 66 should probably bet. Maybe he has AA/KK but most of the time, I think he has air.
River, he bets 4800. Interesting as well. Now you have 10K in the pot, you can raise him for another 12K, giving him 26:12 to call. That's a little less than two to 1 with one card to go. You may consider pushing here as a bluff, because I think a lot of times this is a whiffed AJ/AK/KQ or a small pair that's scared. I think you fold him out a % of the time you need to + you prob. have 6 clean outs.
