Why does it repeat my hand at the bottom ("Hero mucks As Ad As Ad")? Ugh. You wouldn't think it would be hard to find a functional HTML hand converter.

Anyhow, this seems like a classic spot where you have to lay down your overpair. I'm starting to notice that typical low stakes villains take the checkraise line when they are very strong. Well, at least if they think you are strong.

If he had KK, I don't know why he would wait for the turn to checkraise. It's not like the Q made his hand stronger. Hoping he has AQ would be wishful thinking. First of all, he would likely fold the flop. Secondly, if he did call the flop, he would likely not raise the turn, given the strength I am showing.

On a good day, I can lay this down. Not this day, though.
