If I think oppo has half a brain yes definitely.

A bet here looks like a bluff from a typical c bet gone wrong and given up on the turn.

Does oppo know you at all? If not then value town him here 100%

I'd be snapping you off with any pair and possibly even AK.

You'll definitely get called by worse.

How can you not value bet this river? What hand checks to you 3 times, with you having checked the turn, that has you beat?...

yep, bet fold river.

Defo value bet river. He might call pocket 4's a small/med over pair to the flop like 6's/8's/9's or even ace high or a hand like A5. Easy bet :). BTW If he calls and has AQ or JJ and you think you value-towned yourself don't worry about it, bcos its results orientated.

Thanks. As you can see i hit time. I did v bet (22 bucks) and he snap called with 44. This is a spot i have been missing for years. Just wanted to make sure it was standard. I was convinced he had 77 thru to jj. I Couldnt decide if i should be showing down or betting, given that i have to fold if he raises. Ty  

Misclick the turn?

yh i'd be betting the turn here for value. majority of players will give you at least 2 streets of value here, while you can also get calls from Ax or diamonds on the turn (which wouldn't call river)

Didnt see the point of betting like 40 on the turn when a million scare cards can come on the river that he can represent for the rest of our stacks (and I basically cant call)

we bet to protect against the draws not give them for free. if we bet the right amount so that he is not getting the correct price to call relative to the chance of him making a better hand than us, we win at pokers. ez game!

also there aren't really a million scarecards. i can think of 8 really big ones, but given the preflop and flop actions i'm not that scared about the blue cards. doubt many blue card combo's raise utg+1 9 handed, call a 3bet OOP and check/call when two blues hit the flop. he's more likely to have a pocket pair or Ax imo.

I can easily see the guy having the flush draw hands here. We both started with 200bb's, so i think calling the flop with a fd is fine in his position.

ok so why aren't you betting to protect against these diamonds?

edit: his call is more than fine if you are going to give him a free river card lol

im happy to call him off for 40 on the river to catch his bluffs (as stated above i thought he had 77-jj). I would have hated the 4 coming for his Ax hands thou - could have folded to that.

i strongly doubt he will bluff river with 77-JJ (you might see some blocker or just straight up value bets) but alot of players will call 2 bets with 77-JJ on this board (whether it be flop and turn or flop and river), some will even call all 3. you are not giving your opponent the chance to make the mistake in calling by checking behind.

and if he does happen to have diamonds, he will probably call a turn bet and might well still bluff river when he misses.

there's also some other factors like making sure its not just really big hands and bluffs or semi bluffs we're betting the turn with, altho as i understand it this might not be anywhere near as important in rush poker

i mean, i could understand the image argument: "oh you lagtards* will get paid 3 streets but they will just fold to us nits** on the turn".....but i'd assume opponents barely even notice your stack size let alone image in the mayhem of rush poker. once he has called pre and on the flop, he has a hand, and it's probably calling again.



















*haven't played with you dubai but i assumed you're a lagtard, no offence obv

** haven't played with you either outragous but i assumed you're a nit, no apology for you im afraid ya filthy nit :D

lol - def not played with me

def not a nit - the reason I struggle with hands like these are 2 fold:

1. I hate having to lay down hands that had perefctly good show down value (ie bet folding)
2. I have been posting alot recently as I am playing cash (i am v much a tourney player). I am just wanting to get cash thoughts on some of the spots i keep coming up against. Playing 200bb deep is unusual for me - but i am finding that i am doing this alot more recently (playing cash). And I am not seeing too many spots where I am wanting to play for 200bb's with TT (without having flopped another)

QFMFT

skolsuper does a flatcall with TT here pre, he knows stuff

i've played with you before and i certainly wouldn't call you a nit! but i wouldn't call you evil or indeed a pie either...hmmmm

Brammer, talk about over analysing a simple value bet on the river lol!

well no williams lol! at no point did i even mention the river as played because like you say, its a simple value bet with no need for much analysis. turn is much more interesting imo.

True, but turns an easy bet too. A check isn't that bad but I prefer a bet. Also in a normal 6max cash game this deep I'd prefer a flat pre but in RUSH Poker I think a 3-bet is totally fine!
