I'll just post the hand details, interested in what people would do differently do me on any street.

Villain is pretty straightforward ABC player, although he ran one very strange bluff earlier, which had no prospect of being successful.

Playing 200-400/50

I have approx 25k, villain has me covered, but not by much. Maybe 30k.

I open in MP with two red aces to 1000

He defends the bb.

Flop QJ2, with two clubs.

He checks, I bet 1500, he pretty quickly calls.

Turn is the 5 of clubs.

He checks again.

I bet 3200. He tanks, checks his cards, tanks some more and calls.

River 9 of clubs.

He checks, I check back.

He has two black sixes and wins with a flush.

Doesn't get much more std bud. ul

I was pretty strongly considering shoving the river, bad move?

I weighted his hand to a higher club than a 6, but not the ace or king.

Lets give him the ten, do you think most players call off their stacks with that?

We can't shove he river on blank, it would be a big forever right? His turn range seems to be monsters that are hollywooding and hands that are having great difficulty calling, tournament life etc into consideration I think we should go 1/3rd pot for value.

Thatd be pretty spewy bet vs this field imo, he doesn't fold any club he's called turn with, doesn't have a large enough Hollywood range that a flush beats to warrant trying to get a fold out of

The all in bet of course works a lot of the time, but when it doesn't it really really sucks when there's a pretty reasonable chance we can showdown and be good

I assume pleno misread hand given that he called the river a blank and suggested a 1/3 pot bet for value. Then again it's pleno and you never know what crazy line he'll come up with next :P

pleno is saying what he'd do on a blank river James

As played seems really standard, one of the worst rivers for our hand and little fold equity against an uncapped range

Think I would play it the same. Unless you have seen him making big ridic folds, which you haven't, then I think turning down the option of shoving the river is the correct one.

Them Keith was saying he'd jam non clubs

No, he wanted to jam this river as a bluff I think.

Yeh I think Keith was talking about potentiall bluffing the 4flush river

In this field, yes, very probably.

Yeh evidently means that now but pretty sure its edited lengthened post or maybe I'm going crazy :
Sorry for thread derail

Anyone else check back flop?

Wp imo, don't think a crazy river bluff is necessary, we beat a fair bit as it is.

What do we do on the turn if we check back the flop?

Is this a clear fold if villain bets something around half pot on the river?

Probably not in a GUKPT Blackpool field.

in a std gukpt field, never

Hand does seem fine played like this. No points where we can make it much bigger bet wise
apart from maybe the flop but still seems good. You want the call on the turn and give him the wrong
odds to actually call, you then check behind river and lose nothing more. Well played Sir.
