~$1150 back to me

My plan was to slowplay my hand and jack up the river on favorable boards because apparently if you don't raise the flop or turn, you never have a strong hand anymore.

Well he checks the river, and I make a superstandard valuebet that gets bombed.

I have pretty good respect for his game and him as a thinker
and from his POV this shove is obviously perfect if I need a set+ to call and always raise with that range before the river.

I think that he thinks I'm at least "capable" of making a big call with a hand like KJ here, or at least I won't autofold my entire non strait range saying OMG big bet! if that makes sense...

I don't think he is capable of raising worse for value, but I think he is good enough to show me TT here.

Well I thought this was the most interesting hand of my session today, and its been awhile, so I figured I'd post it.

call as played...

youre reasoning for not raising turn is very, very thin
