I'm curious what all your thoughts might be regarding how this hand played out, especially as the villain told me what hand he was holding after the hand (assuming he wasn't lying).
After the hand, I made a comment that his 4x check-raise on the flop didn't make any sense to me, resulting in my folding top pair, second kicker (I didn't tell him what I had folded). It was a pretty innocuous comment, but he took it very defensively and started flipping out on me, yelling about how he had aces (apparently) and I was criticizing his bet. I do think a check-raise is good there with aces, but the large sizing (to me) basically said that he was playing an over-pair or a set, which folded out my top pair, second kicker, which normally would be good to call a smaller re-raise, to call a smaller bet on the turn, or to bet on a checked turn. So it seemed to me that he was folding out a lot of hands that AA beats with that sizing just to fold out flush and straight draws. Furthermore, I feel like he only gets called there with very strong straight and flush draws or an already-made set anyways, all of which are a decent chance to lose against, although he blocks the nuts straight pretty well with two aces.
Anyways, in an effort to learn from the hand, I'd like hear what anyone has to think about the way the hand was played. Thanks in advance for any input!
