That being said, if you c/r the turn for value, you could have played amazing poker and dumped it when he shipped. That could have happened for sure.
Also, just saying,
the worst line in the history of poker MAY (not sure) be,
C/C, C/C, C/C
Just to clarify, I wasn't planning to C/C 3 times. The options I considered OTT were C/C turn/bet river, and C/R turn.
I went with the first one thinking he really can't call the turn C/R with very many hands I can beat, but he can call a river lead-out. Unfortunately, one of the 8 cards that might prevent him from calling a bet on the river came.
In retrospect, I can see why this might be a much easier call than I thought at the time, but do you really think a C/R on the turn is a better line to take?
I mean, it seems like you're suggesting I could have gotten away from the hand, but I don't see the benefit... The checkraise would have cost me the same as the river call; if he shoves, I might actually be folding the best hand; and it's really not that likely I'm beaten OTT anyway. If we think he's calling the turn C/R as well as a river shove with an overpair, then I agree, but it sounds like you want to fold to a reraise.
