I really should of folded here, I know. such a tough spot though, but man am I annoyed I had a good solid start, made a few steals had good reads on the whole table.. all because I thought there was a slight chance he could be just shoving on the A-high full house here..

But really should of just folded, if he bluffed good on him, I just didn't have the dicipline to fold, the pot if I did have the best hand was too hard to resist!

I'd have either called behind or raised larger pre, with MP+1 already having called the villain's raise.

Otherwise I think it's fine. Zeebo's theorem, no one can ever fold a full house. I think there are a lot of pocket pairs that you beat in his range, some queens, and Ax that you chop with. So I wouldn't fold the river either.

On a board like that I check behind for pot control. (WA/WB situation). I also don't want to risk getting check-raised off the best hand (ie. by a FD) or check-raised with potential of calling (which would be getting myself into a bad spot).

Im calling that river all day. Checking flop seems like a good idea as said before, and on turn I'm thinking I have the best hand and I am betting it hoping to get called by smaller PP.

River no doubt call for me.
