Call again?

Our hand is too strong to fold, but by raising we valuetown ourselves. This is assuming we don't have some funky history where he will go mad with 1 pair.

[piestack]

if calling, there's psb left on river.
and i assume it's to check call or check fold river.
so how much are you check calling when he bets? eff stack left is about $528

Villain's bet sizing looks perfect to get the lot in on the end.

Looks like a set up to me.

You're probably behind.

Call.

Check calling river. Just fyl when the river rolls off a 10/J/Q.

[GreekStein]

yeah if the river rolls off a queen i puke.

call and call again tho

thoughts on flatting turn and leading blank rivers?

[mondatoo]

From my experience's of playing 6max if he fires the river I'd say we're ahead <10% of the time.Definitely don't lead the river our hand isn't strong enough and we should be trying to get to showdown.Not saying I would fold because I'm tez at cash but I don't think we beat anything in his range.

[pleno1]

if we call pre it seems absurd to fold now.

Not sure why everyone thinks we're so far behind. The guy is decently aggressive at 24/19, he can easily be 3betting and firing two with AQ AJ AT. My preferred line is to call and lead the river pretty small, say 40% of the pot. If he's as straightforward as you say he is we can pretty much eliminate the possibility of being bluff shoved on the river.

I really don't like check calling here since he's probably going to fire big both with his semibluffs, better aces up and sets. Just puts us in a really nasty spot where we're pretty sure he's not bluffing but could well be overplaying an Ax hand that we beat.

my thoughts too.

[piestack]

thinking about that and i quite like that line, esp if the flush hits on the river
