MERGE
villain is unknown, no stats but is down some and has yet to reload so probably not a superstar

Re: MERGE
I think checking this river > betting it

I think checking this river > betting it [/ QUOTE ] Agree completely. With his stack size, if you bet the river like so you must call a push/re-raise. The best option is just to c/c a river bet that is under 2/3 the pot. It's unfortunate with his stack size you have to c/c, but betting here is too risky imo. |
Re: MERGE
bet less on the river.

Re: MERGE
looks fine to me, unknowns are usually calling stations

c/c [/ QUOTE ] I think theres definitely value in a bet here. some worse queens will tag along given the nature of the board, as will most Jx's since they all have gutshots to go with them. |
Re: MERGE
I think having the correct image is definitely important in this spot. With taht said, I really like this bet and if you play anything like me then you'll often be getting looked up with any q, jacks with good kickers and occassionally a hand like TT or 99. I get extra pissed when hands like this call my bluffs so it feels soooo good to vbet thin like this when the opportunity is right. i like the bet a lot, even if you posted it in this instance bc he called w/ AQ.
Then again, in the games i play 95% of the players are weak-tight stations. This will affect my thinking to a very large degree on this particular hand |
Re: MERGE
either bet or c/c, any kind of read would help me decide, if he is truly unknown then w/e.
|
Re: MERGE
I like a c/c here without a read that villian is a calling station, and the fact he hasn't immediately reloaded is not good enough. Plus a lot of draws missed.
|
Re: MERGE
I check call because every draw missed and the only hand he might pay off here is QT, all others beat you and I doubt he will fold a better hand. c/c is the line here.

Re: MERGE
i think it's a merge against some villains for sure, but perhaps not against the villain in the actual hand

If OP was a 9/7 - I'd argue this was a definite merge and their ranges are permapolarized. For a 50/30, not so much. Merging ranges is fully dependent on having rigidly defined ranges whether they arise from players style or how a certain situation played out. |

[/ QUOTE ] I thought someone had to state the obv flaw in your post. You're saying there's value in a river bet because he's calling the turn with JT. He's not calling your river bet with 2nd pair mid kicker. This is certainly a c/c and the post I qouted sums up why in a great way. |
