£1/3 deep @ the vic

[Pinchop73]

Sit down in the £1/3 game at the vic, having come off a £1/2 table.

4 2/5 regs sat very deep, I guess waiting till the 2/5 fires up. Couple other faces I know, and two unknowns. I sit with £650, the effective stack.

Unknown (young guy, very articulate) opens UTG to £12, covering me.

I'm MP, and I flat with  .

Reg calls MP+1. Tony casc calls sb.

Flop  (pot £48)

UTG continues for £38. I call. 2 folds.

Turn  (pot £124)

Utg bets £81.

I call.

River  (pot £286)

Utg bets £215.

Hero: ?

My question. As well as the river decision, does anyone raise turn? Or you prefer to keep his whole range in play for the river like me?

[Pinchop73]

Have £519 behind otr.

I don't understand how the hand has played out like it has.

- why are you flatting AK?

as for raising on turn, it's so dry, so yes I would, perfect opporunity

I am in the end calling of the bet.

Played it fine imo. I flat pre a lot here vs an UTG open, and your observations suggest this guy doesnt go crazy? Flat flop fine (raising will fold out AT,AJ,AQ) as well as turn.

Aaron suggests raising the turn 'because the board is dry'. I don't personally understand this logic or motivation.

River decision is tricky though. His bet is hearty and he's pounded every street... wtf?
?
 I find it really hard to fold here but his range seems SO strong. I probably dwell/call in game but thinking it through what can he have that we beat apart from AQ? If i had AQ in villain's spot i'd check river a lot given the action

Everything about this hand seems fine if you call now

[Pugwashed]

Raising the turn would be bad

[aaron1867]

The 6 looks a perfect card for me to put in a raise in with such a big hand like ours at this point. Not sure what villain would think of a raise or relevance of a 6, therefore feels like a good spot.

happy to flat on flop, imo.

[rfgqqabc]

Raising the turn would be bad

This, people fold most hands worse than ours.

Flat fo sure on the river.

played it fine. Call now.

As played, I would think your hand is underrepped, so you have to call.

Decision IMO would be whether you can get value from a raise on the river.    or prob about the only calling hands down the streets if you have a very loose image, I suppose.

The other argument for a raise would be if villain is likely to call with worse two pair hands.

Personally, this is generally a call for me.

[Pinchop73]

Yeah apologies, completely unthread worthy hand tbh, just that I had one of the 2/5 regs semi berate me for *somehow* not getting my stack in, wanted to just check with the lads that my immediate thought of 'pfft, LooooooooL' was on the button.

Y r we not jamming river?

[tight4better]

played it fine. Call now.

This.

Raising turn must be a level.

[DMorgan]

Call now, wp nh

If it wasn't vs UTG or we had a read that he's splashy and he therefore had more combos of A2/A9/A7 or might flick in AJ/AQ then I'd prefer a shove.

agreed but considering we have just sat down i cannot imagine we can do anything else but call. Mabye later in the piece but not now!
