No, I was just talking about alternatives

I do agree with some of the points, I just do not like a Bet check bet line here, nor a bet check c/c line

pre seems fine.

flop we should definitely cbet, people never fold j10x, too many sds etc that continue and I doubt he peels 22-66 pre so we can definitely get value from betting.

think c/call river is best, he will bet flop with a flush draw most of the time, and on the river here he should never have us beat, he does have too many bad hands that dont even count as bluffcatchers so the valuebet seems bad. If we do bet it has to be to induce so if we're betting its to b/call giving flop action.

He probably has 10's 

If he doesn't peel pre with 22-66, then hands we're getting value from on the flop are likely to be hands that have substantial equity vs. our range. We're going to be in pretty bad shape on the flop vs hands that peel. You say my hand is face up. I mean, I pretty much cb every flop in 3b pots so checking here can look pretty scary and probably going to take this line w/JJ/TT/JT. If I cbet this flop and get raised I'm going to be sighing all day long, and I'd rather get two streets.

I believe his hand range is pretty face up. He never has Tx, he rarely has spades given the passive flop play...he can have JJ/TT/66, but I have a blocker to JJ. Yes I'm betting the river for value, but I also had no plans to bet fold this river vs. someone that I had marked as competent. I believe he's going to check back a fairly high % if I check to him. Just thought it was a fairly interesting spot and there were a fair few hands firstly that he could hero with and secondly turn into bluffs.

My image at the table is quite aggro playing 32/28

Thoughts please

He could be a hero, but he's not our hero...if he continues to hero with two pair, he'll continue to be pwned by my hero

Stato loses another big one

Langley craises river to 890k on Ax99A. Stato calls and is shown AJ. Big big uphill climb from here for our hero.

He isn't my hero...so he's not our hero...okay?

yeeessssss get iiiiinnnnnnnn !!! CMON TOM LANGLEY !!!

Fold from Herold. The manner in which langley mucks leads me to believe that he had it.

Big pot, herold now short stack.
