Ano table, V unknown.
I dont know how good or bad it is to call the 4b. Probably i didnt want to shove vs a MP open.
On the flop i checked behind probably to induce any bets on later streets. I was thinking that i can easy bet turn/shove river, so all the money will be in, even i checked the flop (hope you understand this english >_<

On the turn was a little difficult because i thought he might have Qx, but there arent so many Qx combos. AQ prob bet the flop, so just KQ i guess.

Hi isssean,

Preflop: calling 4b because you are afraid of shove (short term variance) is a great way to lose money.

Your hand is more than strong enough to shove and go there. And remember you are attacking the money in the pot and every time he folds is a bonus for us (big pot won).

Postflop: I think that checking back the flop is fine but as played I can't see why you'd check it down there. Bet river at least. He has plenty of Ax in there and even weaker pairs that may call.
