I squeezed here to get the nit to fold and the fish to call. The opposite happened. Do I continue on this night mare board on turn or just check it down here?

I probably would have done the same. However, a small river bet probably can be argued.

I think it is ok. No need to bet river as only better will call you.

Well played on all streets; I think I'm just c/f-ing after the worst turn comes.

Is there an argument to be made for betting the turn? You can get called by worse draws and like AJ I guess. But then again you probably don't want to end up getting pushed off what might be the best hand if he raises.

...

Refrain from squeezing in this scenario. (A♥:K♥: is a pure value 3-bet of course that technically just happens to be a squeeze.) What will happen most of the time is that fish calls, nit will get nice odds, and in addition, being aware that you are prone to squeeze.

From turn and on, save your money.

Hmmm....

Please don't misuse the quote mechanism. That is not a quote.
