thoughts on river check and decision now? i tanked 20 seconds before checking.

we have history togetherand both think eachother are ool. i think hes aggro and perhaps abit spewy, his screen name is "crazy plays" which describes his pretty well.

how thin can this guy go? does he have a raise turn stat (still see some people religiously ripping 44/55 ott for no good reason)

horrid spot, folding cant be too wrong

Love flop and turn line. I do think river is chk/fold as we have better hands in our range that take the line of the previous streets

E.G: KQ/JJ/AA/1010/AJ

you would check all of these otr?

[PathFinder]

No the hands listed I would bet the river. Don't think I have any hands that would chk/call river in this instance not sure if that's bad or not? I mean you could argue to have a balanced chk river range but I would happy to just have AQ and AK in there. I mean I guess you could have AJ to chk call. But I'm happy to bet all my value hands on the river and not have a chk call range

if everytime u check you fold the its bad yeh, you need to protect that somehow, i found myself in a psoition where this is the best hand that i would check, so i called, owever it also amde me construct my range differently in the futuee.

[PathFinder]

Of course it's bad if all my check range is a fold on this river but Its a small portion of my entire range so shouldn't come up that often for me to worry too much about it. If I was worried I can put a value hand in there to balance it out. Probably AJ

[pleno1]

well jt is the best hand as it blocks his most likely bluffcvatchers

[PathFinder]

Can't argue with that J10 would better!
