    You got donked by the big stack. You did all you could to deny odds and he called anyway. I dont see mistakes on your part.

    I would say your only other option was to push the turn and let him decide if he wants to gamble. But I agree it looks like Nemo got you on this one

    There's safer ways to play it, but the way you played was the one that was most likely to end up with a big pot, which is what you were after.

    Risk V Reward I think think you got it right and got unlucky.

    This kind of things happens too much when you go up against a big stack unfortunately.
