Hello!

Played this hand on FT last week, I did not see mistakes on this one, but a friend said I played it incorrectly, because we were way too deep… he plays poker twice a week for few years now, so it get me thinking, but I still would play like this again.

Read on the V: When we were 7handed, I had him covered, I raise BTN with A5o, he called AKo on BB, we check down 59Jr x x, none of us improved. So I take V for passive player, the short stakes had about 20bb I think, not that short at the time;
When we were at 5hdd I folded ATo and 55 for his 3bet, he had more chips now, but not CL, and I started to assume he was starting to play a wide range;
Last 10 hands of this one he was involved on about 6 or 7 of them, raising pre flop, and barreling few times after the flop, no showdown tow.

I delayed some time to call flop and turn, I was trying to make him think I was affraid to call, or calling on a weak draw or something.
