I wasn't positive you'd fold a Q, but I had T high, and you can show up with a broadway gutshot sometimes too.
The A9 on the 66833 (was it 3s that paired turn and river? something like that I think) board, where you flopped 3 sixes, I know you said laying down the A to the river bet is always bad, but I really did almost lay it down. Sort of an "I know that you know that I know that..." situation, where I know that you know that I can show up with an A, as well as some 8s (not too many though), and that I'm very likely to call with either. I ended up going one level too far there, just because it's so tough for you to actually have a hand.
As I said at the time, against a random I'm snapping the first hand you listed all day and feeling great about it. I just mistakenly thought you wouldn't think I would lay down a Q, and consequently, if you were to bluff, for it to be smaller, since I basically either have it and am going to call or don't (which follows that your value bets should be bigger). I still don't feel bad about the fold against a good player such as yourself.
You really cannot fold A hi on the river there because my line is so weak.I believe the board was 66282 and I'm repping such a narrow value range, but more importantly you can have a very wide one so it's correct for me to bluff a decent amount. Add to the fact that it seems unlikely I'm betting that much with A hi myself and it's like, well, either its a strong thin value bet, a deceptive monster, or one of his no showdown value hands that he had to c-bet on the flop still has no showdown value.
