gs08bjohnson: checks Villain: bets 1878 and is all-in gs08bjohnson I have 300 hands on the villain who is playing 13/11/3.5 so seems pretty tight, although I suspect these are largely pre-ante hands. Thoughts?

River is?????

Obviously not parsley

if its a club im calling.

LOLdon't know why that got left off.

Offsuit T, let's say  Ts

I call this river with the 2 pair even with the shove think i have the best hand a hell of a lot.

So you can only beat worse 2 pairs (not many) and hands tuned into bluffs rather than outright bluffs.  Problem is your hand is  so under-repped so my mouse ain't going near the fold button this time.

is our hand that under-repped? looks a lot like Ax - AT/A8/A6 all very much in our range OTR no? also have like A9, AJ ofc, I guess we also have Qc Tc,  Qs 8s,  Qd 8d  and I spose we'd have the offsuit Q8's in our pre-flop range as well.

I think theoretically you're just a bit too far up your range to fold but it's a big bet and this certainly could be a spot for an exploitative fold (he's never bluffing AI here, win't be value-betting correctly etc w/e reason you have) however I think you can beat a couple of value-bets which prolly JUST makes it a call for me, he can have A6 A8 Q8? horrible though, hating it.

You think people who never bluff here - not my assumption (but probably reasonable here) - will overbet rip q8/a6/a8 for value?

I don't think people will never bluff, I was saying if YOU have that assumption, you could make what I think would be an exploitative fold. Prolly not Q8, but A8 I would imagine so - obviously maybe not now I know who the opponent is but like anything that is exploitative your reads on the player will play a big part.

I think if you have nothing whatsoever on this guy, then I would think calling is best.

I think i fold for the following reasons. 
i)  If the pre-flop stats are anywhere near true villain doesn't have hardly any 2 pair combos that you beat i.e. a6/q8 etc.  So i don't really think you beat any value hands.
ii)  On a AQ6810 board its pretty hard for villain not to have some kind of showdown value and the only real no showdown draw of KJ got there on the river.  This coupled with villains tight opening range you can prob rule out random k5ss type hands.  Basically most villains and esp some one opening tight will have a decent piece of the board and wont feel the need to bluff river.  They've basically got to be turning a made hand into a bluff and i cant see that many made hands bluffing here (J10/910 maybe?).  Either way i doubt they are bluffing a high enough percentage of the time to make a call profitable.

Pretty hard for villain to not have showdown value and pretty hard for villain to not have a pair are two completely different things.

If villain isn't bluffing then wtf can he have that he value bets and we beat?

thin value with AK?

It's obvious to me if villain is never bluffing that this would be a fold.

As the hand in question is against a tighter player this is a slight tangent, but how many people, multi-tabling pre-ante in a $55 are balancing enough bluffs into their range here? I for one am certainly guilty of not being sufficiently balanced here.  I'm not even sure any of the more absurd regs bluff 1 in 3 here.

I think most people are guilty of playing auto pilot early stages but for me, regardless of number of tables, give full attention to hands where I am at the river.

Agreed though, I think that the bluff frequency is low here. I kinda feel like saying that this is a fold now compared to my earlier "call"

really, really strongly think this is a fold. agree with Keith as always. GOAT.

i think he isnt doing it worse for value or is bluffing, basically.
