reason for not raising PF was that i wasnt comfortable to call a 3bet with AJ (wich whould have happend very likely with this villain)
turn = potcontrol , river = sucks


his stats 71/22/1.4/33 204hands

easy fold? , PSB turn - go broke ? effective stacks 160bb

I bet the turn for value. This guy is a total fish and will call you down with flushdraws, middle pairs etc, weak aces. Another advantage of betting the turn is that he has to act before you do on the river and if the flushcard hits, it will make his bet more genuine. If he he is capable of bluffing he's awesome, but looking at his stats I don't think he is.

As played I probably fold the river. But I am very unsuccessful in making hero calls on the river, so maybe you shouldn't follow my advice /images/graemlins/smile.gif

He got the flush and tries to represent a bluff.

Anyways, follow up with a turn bet. Why did you check anyways? Nothing came in, bet again, a BDFD came in.

Otherwise looks fine.

same , i have to be good very often - and i suck in these spots

most prolly a big leak in my game

[cashstrapped]

Definately bet the turn.
I think river is a flush far to often to make this a call

[yntm3]

Value bet turn pls.

[orlov]

i see villains doing huge overbets on the river all the time, this is usally the nuts(or what they think to be the nuts), so id definitely fold.

[monkeymaps]

anyone 3 betting this preflop agianst this guy IP or is AJ too weak for that?

[traz]

I usually iso 3bet pf against this guy because he's such a fish. Value bet the turn, fold river as played.
