Villain and me have tangled before, he 3bet me pre, i shoved 1010 and he called w AK and hit. Given a minor bit of abuse to the table while playing pretty tight for the past hour. Anyone got a better line that makes more money ling-term? Note its a 3-way pot.

Insta min-raise the river to look like an idiot?  But he's put $280 in so far, nearly half his stack, so I really don't think he has anything at all, if he had half a hand he would have checked the river...

I like the way you played it, i don't think your getting any more.

You always have a choice.........the main thing is you have done nothing wrong. would he have called a min reraise....... possibly. He might have reraised you....but unlikely. Pretty sure he folds regardless. But what do I know? I don't play cash

I agree.   The push on the river will be called if he's got a hand enough times to make the shove a profitable play. You min-raise and he might call, and then you're wondering if he would call a push.  But then again, maybe a min-raise lets him hang himself.  Oh, I don't know...

Lol Alex you play so different to me. I would have lead the river personally but i rarely check raise rivers (possible leak?). The rest of the hand is player dependent, donking the flop, check raising the turn all very much based on how a view the opponent.

I think this is one of those you can play numerous different ways and not be wrong.

One thing I will say i think shoving the river is alot better than min raising from what I have seen of your image where you have bluffed in this spot before.

you played it fine.

flat calling with 45 suited before the flop oop just spewing chips overtime?

Really like the turn lead but you could bet even more there. ($120ish)

75 seems perfect, i assume your trying to make it look like your after a cheap card?

Flat call his river bet. Don't be greedy.

Yeah, "trying to buy a flush draw", hoping villain puts me on bare As. Was thinking about leading but multiway this can shut down my action unless oppo has As/made flush.

WRT river lead Longy, im unsure how much i can get off hands which have been hurt by turn+river big cards. I thought with a river lead he might fold a larger % of hands thanhe would bluff with..... (need to do more analysis on this generally).

Also, i did some PT studies and i deffo dont CR the river enough with big big hands, so have tried to mix it here.

Hand was interesting coz opponent folded.......AQ! FFS!
