Thin value raise 25nl

[catoandtonic]

The reason I post this hand is because I usually miss tons of value on river. My river raise was testing the boundaries of squeezing value. I know I should have c-bet more, but I do not think c-betting more is really going to change the dynamics of this hand much. Please focus on turn and river, especially river. However, all constructive comments appreciated.

FWIW, this river raise is the last cent I put into this pot. If raised, I insta-fold, knowing full well I am beat like 99%+. Thanks for thoughts.

I think you raise on the river should be smaller. Imo only a better hand is calling / raising if hes not totally retarded and if u want value from a weaker hand u should make it smaller around 8-9$ total.

I raise to 7-8.50 for value that raise is huge and is likely to not get called as much

I agree. I like the raise, but make it a bit smaller.

11 into pot of 9 is too much, if checked into you could overbet it a bit and hope Ax calls. I do this now and then since it kinda seems like a bluff/missed flushdraw. As played i reraise 7.5 or 8 and hope for a call.

I like this, he should have trouble putting you on a hand and call light.
