1/2 Live. Weak or prudent?

[feelixthegreek]

Honestly, I was undecided, which is why I didn't shove the turn. Against the vast majority of regulars I play against, I shove with little hesitation, but I did not know this guy at all other than that he was capable of a check raise.

When he checked the river I thought he either had the nuts or a hand too weak to call any river bet, but I felt icky checking it down.

FWIW, he had flopped bottom two pair (69), which given the way he played it sheds a lot of light on the kind of player he is. I told him straight out that he should have shoved the river, and he said "Are you nuts?" which shed further light. I'll play better against him next time, but obviously I left a little money on the table in that hand.

An occasional but consistent leak in my game is too tighten up in potentially big pots when I have a big stack against other big stacks. I fight the tendency and often succeed (especialy as my BR has grown), but this was one case where I got hobbled by uncertainty.
