I'd look for a third bet on the turn. It doesn't have to be big but we want to get all the money in and that'll be hard on the river unless villain complies like he did here.

I would just call the river.

I think just calling the river is fine as well. I also like the way that hero played the turn. An obvious 1 card straight doesnt need to be going nuts with.

Same here, looks like a chop.

I don't like 3-betting the turn at all.

This is an unraised, multi-way pot. If you 3-bet the turn it's obvious to even the dullest players that you have at least a 5 in your hand. I need precisely 8-5 to 3-bet here.

Once villain raises this is going to be a split pot most of the time anyway, and occasionally you lose to 8-5. I just call the turn, and check/call river.

I would raise already on the flop but result is good you get money in good enough hand. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

You have a good draw on the flop. Pot it to take it down, or to build it for when you hit.

If we're not splitting, we're see 2pr's/sets far more often than 58. Especially since they aren't in the blinds. So we want the money in.

With his short stack, I would 3-bet turn a-i to charge flush drawers. And yes, they sometimes call the all-in, and you aren't getting more money out of the when it doesn't hit on the river anyway.

River c/r a-i is a great play after only calling the turn.

You save like 45c in rake and miss out on $9 against all those 2 pr's/sets (often slow played by retards). Get the mopney in.

[Shaddux]

This looks fine.

I disagree with everyone saying just call the river. The only hand that beats us is 58 and he doesn't have that often. When it looks like you might chop, you have to see if you are on the nuts side of the chop range or the rags side of the chop range. If youre on the nuts side like you are here then get it all in. If he calls with just an ace once in 20 pushes, it pays off.
