I'm Alive !!!

Wow, can't believe it's been 16 years.  I've been taking steps back into the poker world over the past year.  A lot has happened since then, will most likely have to catch up over multiple posts.  But to tide you over, a nice little spicy hand from this past week.

$1/3 NL, $300 stack effective

UTG raises to 10, and villain solid-reg calls behind.  I'm on the BTN and raise it to 65 with AKo.  Blinds and UTG fold, and villain tank calls.

Flop is JJT rainbow.  Villain checks, and I check behind.  I can't rep much, and I don't want him to blow me off my equity.

Turn is 5.  Villain checks, and I check again for pot-control and figure he's calling any bet with mid pocket pairs that are beating me.

River is T.  Villain bombs it for $200 and I snap-call.  He says I'm good, and I table the A-high to the amazement of the whole table.  Pretty easy call imo.  My pre-flop raise strongly defined his range and he's never calling with any hand that has a J or T unless it's specifically JJ or TT.  I put him on counterfeited mid pocket pair and his river bet was just super bluffy.
