I think EM2 views me as a tight/weak opponent, so I decide to float because a) I know he is capable of raising a wide range, b) He will probably bet this flop 100% of the time regardless of his hand, and c) I will use my tight image to represent AQ+ on this scary flop by flat calling, and d) I sensed weakness when he bet the flop.

On the turn is where I think I made a mistake. I decided to check behind, because if I had AQ I would check behind. If I sensed weakness, I supposed I should have bet the turn. If I bet the turn and get called, then I would have to shove most rivers right?

On the river his bet commits over half his stack...
