Title: River decision Post by: tight4better on February 11, 2014, 04:34:28 AM 50/1 at gala. Normal image, villain is thinking and good and has been playing well/aggressive since he sat. I'm playing 400 and covered by villain.
We're 6 handed, open Ad 9d UTG to £4, 5 callers incl villain from big. 9c 8d 9h We bet £13, weak player calls with 75 behind, villain calls. 5d Checks to me I Bet £28, people may not like the bet size but I'm betting small because I want the weaker player to call and have to be committed on most rivers with A8 type hands/gutshots+overs which I know he wouldn't fold. Weak player folds and I'm c/r'd to £70 by villain. I call, don't really consider jamming the turn think it's way too much and don't really expect him to call unless it's some sick cooler, I'd rather call and evaluate. 2s He bets £120.

Can have qj, jt, qt as bluff combos along with back door diamonds such as Kqd he can be value raising any 9 that he's peeled with and you've already said your turn bet is small so he can definitely be raising light for value or raising as a bluff to get you to fold a weak range because you bet small.
I'm assuming you lost to why you posted but don't worry mate it's cooler IMO. Title: Re: River decision Post by: BALOTELLI9O on February 12, 2014, 12:16:01 AM Absolute cooler. I don't think villain expects you to have a hand this strong given your bet sizing. If he has you beat sleep easy in the knowledge you played the hand fine, although I would bet bigger on the turn for sure. Villain has 400bb so I would be looking to get him to commit as much as possible.

I think it's too thin, we're probably slightly behind his value range (not nearly enough to fold though), and when we raise the weaker parts are largely going to fold. Although if you mean as a bluff then there may be some merits to it I guess against the right opponent, as there aren't too many full house combos he can have as we block the 9 and we should fold out the straight vs some people. Seems pretty image dependent, would be a value/bluff merge, kinda funky, but I prefer just calling I think. Title: Re: River decision Post by: JustinSayne on February 14, 2014, 08:45:07 PM Call?

For value or are we bluffing the river alex? |
