That player wasn't entirely happy with me by this hand.

On the flop I decided that with how active I had been, and how he had played previous hands,  it only made sense that if he had an actual hand he would check raise me. Which meant he had a hand like Ax, KQ maybe, and as there was only one of those that beat me I thought it was worth the risk that he might have AK in return for getting all his chips.

It sounded good in my head - but I was extremely relieved that he didn't turn over something like a flopped set or a big pocket pair
