After the hand daanuts starts berating me for how horrible my play was etc etc.  I think it is a pretty standard play for me, the river check is too weak, he is basicially giving me the side pot. As for the original AI, I may have him beat with K high, but I am not concered about eliminating players with 70 left in an MTT.

i agree with your play here, if he's folding, he probably won't beat K high anyway, so the all in player would still be playing against you for the main and the side pot was worth fighting over. Not sure what he's mad about, he bet the turn, according to his "rules" he should only do that with a made hand that can call the river anyway.
