Let me preface this hand with the following statements. I don't play very conventionally, I don't give up on pots very easily, and I'm more than willing to push a miniscule edge. One thing I think is stupid is bluffing the river with AK high. You generally get busted draws to fold, which you beat, and get called by a pair or better, which you don't beat. Seems stupid. "The only way I could win was by betting." That's generally not true, of the hands you get to fold 90% of them are busted draws that you'd beat by checking. That said this seemed like a good spot for it. Does anyone agree? My flop and turn play certainly could be questioned too.
