50NL: AK flops trips with a sick turn card. Pot control or go broke?

[SirFelixCat]

Villain is your avg 50NL nit 18/13/3.6 over 240 and seems to be somewhat thinking. That said, thoughts on bet sizes, turn play and the river call. Was this missed value, good pot control and a good call on the end? Should I have mucked the river? Should I have raised the river? Would he bet anything I beat here on the end?

I think you played it well... SB could be betting AQ/AJ/AT these hands are not checking the river here...I think its an easy call

[CaptUnlucky]

I raise it more PF, especially OOP.

Other than that, looks fine. Raising river is horrible, folding is SUPER weak.

If you bet on the turn, is it with the intention of folding to a shove?

you have nearly 1000 posts and dont know to hide results? please hide them i would not think that hand is in his range....

I think he could have something like 55 here often enough and just wants to see where he is. as played i think its an easy call, but i think im betting that turn... probly about 12. he could have something like AcTc to.

bet more on the flop. any ace will follow --&gt; ++EV. charge the flush draw while you're ahead --&gt; +EV. pocket pairs will either fold or come over the top --&gt; fine. and they're more likely to pooosh if they think you're bluffing with a big "scary" flop bet than if you seem like you're trying to extract value with 1/2-2/3 pot bet.

check behind the turn is good on the scare card, esp with small flop bet. riv call is good. plenty of times he doesn't have the flush

looks good. if the turn is not a diamond I obviously keep firing. good river call, getting 3:1.

D'oh...thought I edited out the results. My bad :embarassed:
