OK, maybe on the flop with a not dangerous dry board but calling a push on the turn for about 50BB doesnt look very good to me cause i think villian is beating us here more almost 100% time.

What drawy hand is he protecting if he bets the flop or what hand is he value betting by betting the flop? AK is really the only one and has only 3 outs so why not let him bluff. Why bet the flop unless we are against a stupid fish (how many stupid fish play this high anyway?).

And leading turn is awful too.

How would you play this hand differently?

In that case, you should rephrase your original post and say you don't understand how he can call second pair instead of saying you don't understand the way he played any of the streets he played.

note to OP, you are wasting your time trying to analyse hands played by these guys at these limits. its pretty clear that the nosbleed stakes regulars are employing all kinds of factors (table dynamics, immediate/long term histroy, metagame, opponents mental state etc etc)into their decision making processes, and to try and make some kind of educated statement in relation to one hand played in isolation imho is a waste of time (and space in this once glorious forum).

a turn fold would be criminal w/ given action
