Yeah, I'm aware that I played it OKAY, but certainly not PERFECTLY, or even anywhere near GOOD.
I actually thought he might have a smallish pair, possibly one giving him a set. I'd previously seen him re-raise with pocket 9's when the flop came AK6. I was willing to pay to see whether he had 88 or 77, even if the 77 beat me.
Does the Ace on the river not improve my hand because at the same time as I have three OAK, his set could have just turned into a full house?
For the second hand, I agree capping pre-flop was a mistake, although I didn't see it until now. Capping on the river - which pshabi pointed out as well - I knew immediately was a mistake, even before he showed his flush.
