river play

[lead24]

no reads. First orbit. I figured there was a chance he was bluffing with a SD or FD w/ pair. i was getting just about 3 to 1. what do you think of the river call?

I would lead the turn.

I think you're beat almost always on the river.

I'm probably just gonna bet the turn too.


As played I doubt your hand is best here too often.

As played I think you should fire again on the turn.

Personally, I would try to check this down in the absence of reads. Playing TPNK OOP without reads is very difficult. With reads I might play it very differently.

I'd muck the river - I don't see many hands that call flop and bet turn/river that you beat.
For leading the turn: I'd prefer to check the turn and make a valuebet on the river if he checks behind (he might do this easily with his weaker hands: pps, pair of 6s and such). I think we get most value this way. If he bets the turn, I call up to a psb and check the river ui (and then reevaluate based on betsize / texture etc.)
