I kinda agree with what you did preflop...but I probably would have raised it a little bit more holding a big pair and 2 decent lo cards...

For the flop: With EVERYONE in the hand, I'm surprised no one bet out that ace...either someone was afraid to bet it, or no one actually had it.
To be honest with you, I would have bet the flop if I had that ace...I wanna get those KK's, QQ's and all them out and see if someone had a good lo.

Turn: I like the betting on the turn...you obviously know NO ONE has that ace and they are just playing rags, so the bet is good.
I'm surprised some of these guys didn't stay in for the lo hand...

River: Good bet here...I have a feeling he had maybe 8's or 7's in his hand and thought his "full boat" wasn't good enough for the high...but to be totally honest with you...I would have raised this hand up to .6 on the flop...and then bet the flop low to see if someone is slow playing that ace...

You played this good...I'd give you a cookie if I had one...
