Gonna disagree with the childrens education furniture mogul who champions ireland's finest drink Mr Stuart Bopkins.

3x it pre Ant. This is pre antes.

I think betting turn and then bet/folding river is better than your line.

think beting turn then bet folding river is slightly better, but i disagree with the 3x pre antes party, i think its important to keep pots pretty small, and people peel much wider to 2x than 3x in the early levels.

The earlier streets are at least debatable, the river is a clear fold.

I agree, because the bet is quite big on the river and so early on i doubt anyone is going to bluff at that size. However, the way i played it i was eyeing up the villain to put in a river bluff, as i thought that was the way i was going to maximise the value of my hand.

If he checked turn behind me, the likelihood of him calling a bet out on the river is more likely with weaker holdings.

How is this true? You're not likely to take a bet / check / bet line as a bluff. If you were bluffing the king is definitely a card you'd barrel.

I can see how you've "set villain up for a river bluff" but now he's bet this size, I think you have to reevaluate and fold.

I think this is a year or two out of date. your range has more air in it betting the turn than chk calling it, I think so early like this keeping it kinda simple is better, you are right you're unlikely to get 3 streets from this hand but betting flop, betting turn and betting and him folding the river is > bet/chk/bet imo as you rep a hand with some value when you chk/call the turn and bet/chk/bet lines are usually interpretted as Cbet conected flop/pot control/thin(ish) value bet.

I also agree with Alex that as played the river is a fold.

Great summation. You are also correct about me being two years in the past as i haven't put much effort into changing my game, but that is happening now. Need to be much more aware of how the oppo views my plays from start to finish rather than analysing on a street by street basis which i often get in the habit of doing because, when multi-tabling i can lose track of how the earlier streets played out.

what is he trying to make you fold, this is theoretically a great card for your hand so he bets 1.15x pot, just seems like your range is face up and he knows you wont fold it, he isnt betting AQ for value here either.

would be sick to Jam as a bluff lol, he should fold but he defo wont.

bet, bet, bet

you should bet the k with all your bluffs as its a good scare card meaning he will call alot of turns and probably rivers with qx. on this river he will call most queens too.

pre i make it 150

this might notbe the case for a $55 f/o but surely bet / bet / chk-fold is prolly the optimal play vs any decent villain?

I agree, two barrels and then check, evaluate the river bet by them and then consider the call or fold. Normally too high a bet is them suggesting they are weak hoping for you to call and a half pot bet or below can be either a value bet or a value bet bluff, so a call to a half bet pot by them considering the price on the call. I say too high a bet is normally suggestive of them having more than AA because of how early on we are in the tournament. It is a shame i don't have a HUD for any more background knowledge on this guy (something i am setting up, four years and counting now) but i wonder what stats would this guy need to suggest that if i bet bet checked, that he would bluff bet the pot on the river?

not sure a HUD stat would be very usefull as if you have ever had this situation it wont be very often, and not enough of a decent sample size to just base the decision on that. previous notes on villian would be a lot more usefull but as you say you its early in tourney so hard to have developed notes either.

Maybe i should expand on another thread but how do people make notes in tourns? I don't really do them and if i don't recognise their name as a regular i often just play a standard game whatever that is.

There good abbreviations for certain things, plus what do people most often note about another player?

An example of what you may have written on a player would be helpful. I often get put off writing notes because of the amount of tabs i have up.
