down below is the hand in question.
Notice the stacks are very deep...
How it was going: this guy has been pretty tight and folding to most my checkraises.. raised many of my Cbets, i sensed him tilting a little bit because i was killing him thruout the session but i dunno about this hand. I normally reraise 77 pre but not vs this guy, because if i 3bet pre he never flatted when i made it 100, it was a fold( i win $30) ore he puts in 500 lol then i must fold so i felt value by calling, i c/r like i normally did and he usually folded but this time he flats and I'm putting him on a big hand, I'm happy with the turn because i thought he had a made hand and didn't have a draw... then i bet and he smoothes and i start to think he has a AA or AQ type hand... then on the river its the worst, everything gets the, the AK gets the the pair+draw gets there, so im thinking"well this guy paid me off real light before so maybe he'll pay me off with Q10 or QJ or AA" so i decided to bet, every time he riverraised me he had it we been playing for like 2 hours too then after we ended i asked him what he had and he claims AA which surprises me, hes a regular high player too, I just didnt wanna check and face a big river bluff by him and i looked pretty strong and feel he cant come over the top if he doesnt have a str8 here... can he:? any advice how to keep pot smaller? or check turn? open for all advice..

wp, fold

turn bet should be much bigger, river is really really close to a call

i dont think the rivers that close at all. havent played hu for a few months so maybe im out of touch?

Turn bet is wayyyy too small.

oh I actually thought this was a live game, ok so river is not so close anymore.

for those saying"turn is too small," please explain why.?
250 into 430 seemed fine, really was rooting for him to raise because on th turn i was VERY confident with my hand. Checking river is just giving him a chance to bluff huge on me and i miss value from 2pair hands. I dunno the hands been bothering me and i wonder if he really had AA like he said.

well at least for me, i want to bet bigger to trap more money in on the turn incase i have to chk/river, or incase i want to have a healthy size pot bet. villians range when the 8 hits on the turn gives a lot of his marginal hands hed normal fold one last shot at a peel as well, so once again i want to trap more money in. i think this outweighs the times you induce a raise on the turn.

the very obv answer also would be you're deep.
