    to be honest I think you played it really well - if you had reads on him being an obvious maniac station.

    Id be really worried about that Ace if it were me due to the raise oop pre flop. Especially when he flats the flop - could not really have shoved the flop btw beacause of the two Aces.

    By the turn you had to shove or check fold (Which by this stage is really tricky to do) and as long as it was a read on him being a maniac station then good shout - only you can answer that. Really well played though mate, just soooo unlucky.

    you were 93% chances to win when you reraised the flop 81% on the turn - nothing wrong with that!!!

    if you didnt think he had an ace why did you reraise the flop as he should of folded? allin on turn is ok if you think he calls with pocket 10s kind of hand

    Us microstakes players are told over and over again to bet bet bet when we get a decent hand and think we are ahead. 

    The fact that, although the reraise indicates strength, it is very rarely folded so is this not a good move to build the pot?  Do you think it would be better to call the flop and hopefully let them hang themselves on turn or river?

    i think the point is if his super read that he doesnt have an ace (which i am pretty sceptical on anyway w/o previous hh's of him bluffing a lot) then he is bluffing almost always so to get the most money out him we should just let him bluff his stack off

    i wouldnt raise flop personally. just to echo wots been said, if u think he is bluffin then why raise? (majority of players fold q high to ur raise on flop lol) call and let him continue his story.

    I raised to try and get the money in, which worked, then he rivered me lol.
