The whole time I had images of slowly reeling in a lure.... Then setting the hook hard and enjoying dinner....

Nice play man, river check was risky. But it worked and you got max value!

Yeah, that 6 wasn't a scare card, so I figure if he though his hand was good on the Turn, then it's still good. If it had been something scary (third club, or an ace), I would have led out with a very callable value bet. Especially if an ace hits, I would want it to look like I was making a move at the pot, and trap him that way. (player seemed fairly smart about the game).

And I play a very loose PF strategy, lots of cheap pots, lose a bunch of little ones, win a handful of big ones. (OMG remembering an epic thread we had on this topic.... FML I can't remember what it was called).....
