Do you value bet this river?

(and i read the super sick post on ValueTown - so dont just post links!)

Yes. Like $3.10. Get a 9 or like TT,77 to call.


Fold to a check raise

I would bet out $2.50 on the river. I think it is likely that he has a pair of nines and is afraid of the flush draw or the A. Do you have any reads on the villian? If the villian was really passive he might have an A and be afraid of the flush but I doubt it.

Definately betting the river here. BB hasnt shown strength at all in this hand. I usually fire 3.00 at a pot this sized on river. Fold to a c/r/shove.

Glad you all agree - bet $2 (mabye too small) and was called by J3 for 3 threes.

So you were right...anyone who is going to ch/call, ch/ch, and just ch/call on the river with trips here is definately paying you off when they have a 9 or similar underpair. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Bad result but bet is still fine the way it is played, maybe bet more if you think they'll call a higher bet with worse, $3+ is a bit much for an 8 or 9 to call imo as your hand is pretty face up.

You must bet here for value on the end, villain has shown no had strength at all. As far as the results go, make sure you take a note on this guy. Btw, I would probably bet turn once I hit just so I make sure I dont give one card flushes a free chance to hit.

QFT. Make sure you actually DO fold to that raise though. It can be tough to follow through. Sigh.....

[Ender Wiggin]

I like your line and bet the river for sure.
