Moving up to 5/10 NL

BR: $43,334

This is probably the first time I played at 5/10 NL "comfortably" -- feeling like it wasn't anything special that I was playing at these limits.

BB has 8d Ad (flush, ace high).
Hero has Jd Js (flush, king high).

I called each street pretty quickly, and that was probably a mistake. My opponent was solid, and for some reason I kept thinking he was playing some two-pair/set/straight combination, but that's just asinine. No player of strength is going to fire twice out of position with that kind of hand on a 4-flush board. The second nuts just isn't good enough in a raised pot to call both streets. I should have released on the river without a real read.

I thought the river bet was small enough that a single 8 would feel obliged to call, or a flush would make a minraise out of. Turns out my opponent was a LAG, and I may have gotten away with more. But I feel like this was the right play on all streets.

This is almost certainly a mistake. Any reason for thinking SB had a strong hand was just me praying for an accidental A3, when in reality it seems much more likely he has JT, 89 or two spades with the first being most likely. A bet of $200 was in order.

I checked the turn hoping to represent an AK misfire and give BB a chance to bluff at the pot. Once I decided to check raise, any amount I raise is stack commiting -- and for some reason I felt like he'd be more inclined to call $400 with a weak pocket pair than a minraies of $300. I was pretty surprised by the heroic AK.
