On the river, there's about $1000 left in Villain's stack, so less
than a pot-sized bet. I see a lot of people shove here, but I actually
like his check back. It's not what I expected, and in fact part of the
reason I was slowplaying was that I thought he'd probably value bet
quite a few worse hands on the river. If he's checking AK and
presumably AA here, though, I'm not sure if that means I should play my
hand faster. I guess I could see check-raising the flop, but with his
turn bet sizing, I doubt he's calling a check-shove there.
