Weak Blocker Bet??

[delasoul]

What do you think about this hand?? No real reads...I decide after reviewing the flop to keep it small since I considered a check raise if he bet out . I just checked call.

I put a blocker bet on the river, but I think that was a woosy bet and should have bet more. I put myself in marginal situation here on the river and deciding to keep it small prevented me from getting any information that I would of like.

I personally think every street sucks.

Fold preflop, c/r flop, turn is fine (gj), river is a c/c to get a missed hand to fire one last bullet.

Yah folding was an option here but I thought he might have been raising with any two to buy the blinds.

I didn't think about the check call option

If he's raising a lot, 3-bet him. You have a marginal hand OOP, not a position I wanna be in a lot of the time.

If he'll raise light pf then you should 3bet to try and take it down there... this is a fold most of the time though, as it's very hard to play this OOP against a raise.

That crossed my mind too but I got passive last minute. I agree if I'm going to make a play at it I probably should have been more agressive pre-flop if I felt my read that he was trying to buy

The hand wouldn't have been so marginal on all the streets if I had 3 bet pre-flop and got a call or better yet a fold. I could have show agression on the flop and got the information I needed if he played back.

Thanks..
