Bow to Your Sensei!

The lineup looked good last night and I am maximally confident in my mixed game skills right now, so in I went! Sadly, I did not run well. Here are some of the big or interesting hands I played:

I was a little confused by his 4th street check. Perhaps I should be folding at some point, but I can't pick a street where that seems like the right play. Maybe 5th street, on account of my reverse implied odds? Turns out he was setting a tarp!

Perhaps I should raise the river here for some thin value, but I think calling is probably better since neither of my hands is the nuts.
