Andanthar--my post regarding 5/10 limit holdem, have you ever seen a player in your life check 3 times heads up with pocket aces and just call the river for 1 bet?

NObody can for sure point to cheating in one instance with one hand, but what I was trying to prove was that if he could see my cards, he played the hand EXACTLY right to extract the most money out of me with the exception to a river raise which I say would have been so blatantly ridiculous, it would almost scream superuser.
And then just a couple hands later, the same villian calls a 3-bet from me (on the button), cold from the SB (with the original raiser who I suspect as a 'real player' calls too).
With my AJs, and a board of q-10-6 rainbow, it checks around to me which i bet and I'm raised from the SB villain, which folds the original raiser, and I call. So this guy raises a 3-better post flop with an original raiser behind him, but did not bet AA once during the previous encounter. hmmmm....if I was a poker player, I'd say KQ, QJ or 10J sounds about right here...
A king hits, and the pot is now up to 14 small bets. He checks, I take my time and bet and he instant folds.
I can't deduce with 14 small bets in the pot why any regular player would not call one big bet vs me in this situation. Any pair, pair with a straight draw should call. The only hands that fold (that make sense calling 3 bets cold) are pocket pairs, but remember there was an original raiser behind this guy and I just dont' see a good play from a player who checks aces 3 times heads up. (Maybe the villian did have a pp and knew original raiser had air too, like A-9 or a smaller pair.)
These are real hands and if you want me to send you over the proof with HH, I'd be willing to do it. I know for a fact that this particular player did not lose a single showdown vs. me, and I played around 100 hands or so 4-handed.
Let me know what you think and if you'd like to see thise HH. Thanks.
So again, my point being that if you COULD see my cards, a pocket pair here is played to perfection, drawing dead on the river.
