The title says it all. Villain misplayed this hand by not betting his open ended straight draw at the Flop. He wanted to build the pot, just in case he hit the straight. Instead he gives me a free card and I jump at the chance to bet my flush draw at the Turn. A pair of Aces on the River with a weak kicker is nothing to get excited about. But, it may win. Easy decision. Check/Call Modest Bet. Check/Fold Big Bet. Villain makes his second mistake by bluffing the River with a modest bet. I never bluff Rivers. Before the hole cards were dealt, I had already checked the sitting out next hand option because it was time for bed. This was a nice way to end the night.
