$25NL 6-Max - TP GK on safe board, could I have gotten more on river?

[MattVanDam]

OK so I've been at this table for around 40 hands this villian hasn't been here for very long, I don't any info on him in PT and not long enough to make any sense of PAHUD stats, however he was playing 4 tables so didn't expect him to be quite as bad as he obviously turns out.

Just wanted the opinion as to if I should try and stack him on the river or am I right to play for a nice juicy value bet and hope he is strong enough (or stupid enough) to call?

Well played...do you really think he is calling a ~PSB on the river with TPBK and 4 to a straight?

I think when you push here, you are almost never called by a worse hand.

[MattVanDam]

Well my thoughts exactly, his pre-flop limp could have easily been A-x suited and pair up when any wheel card. However after my river bet I would still have to call any shove?

[choccypie]

You could've got a little bit more by betting like $10, but a hand like A7 is not likely to call an ai on that board so I think you've almost got the most out of it.

[whyzze]

I think the only way you get it all in on this river with the best hand is if you check call a bluff. Which is a line I would take sometimes here considering the flush draw.

See that 4-str8? That means check turn.

Are you serious? Do I have to give him credit for a deuce just because he limped? Sorry that line is pure balls.

Standard against a donkey.
