Preflop: At 2:1 in position against an opponent with a range the size of Americas debt I never fold here... Flop: the A worries obviously and he Cbets (I see it as a Cbet really tells me nothing much) so I pot him to see if he is serious about the hand and he calls. I feel him just calling is a positive probably a weak Ace (perhaps wishful thinking) Turn: as I said I am pretty sure I am ahead atm reinforced by his check and what is essentially a blank (doubt he is calling a large bet w dumb end str draw) I expect him to fold or raise here... not the case but I am almost positive I am ahead now River: Truly a disastrous card... what do I beat now??? not much at all... and when he bets out i am pretty sure I am cooked however with around 7:1 i don't feel I can fold here (and this is the only part of the hand I am unsure as to whether I played Incorrectly or not, I am sure that things may have been done better up till this point I think my play is not Incorrect). Any comments?

Re: Hand Review: 12c/25c (10 Handed) I think you played it fine, the river is still a call although a vbad card, the pot is too big to fold. What i would have liked is putting your opponent all in on the turn as the pot is about $9 he has about $10 left and the turn card brought more flush and straight drawing possibilities meaning they'll be more likely to call with worse hands on the draw. FWIW i would have played AK exactly the same as pedro so wouldn't be surprised to see that, if AQ or AJ then he played it a bit odd, should have just shipped the turn but w/e.
