Poker is my Favorite sport
 

Thought this was actually worth posting. less than 10 hands at this table. I probably butched everything but flop and preflop. Block river? I have no clue.

I like although I don't know what the best river play is. Probably c/c. I would think villain would shove flop with AsK.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

I probably fold river, people are going to be value betting 99 or AsK / AKs / KQs / KsQ / x-ys far more than he is going to be bluffing with the much smaller range of 77 etc.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

AsXo?

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

Definatly AK

But listen to what True said.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

good analysis from true, honestly you only beat a bluff and you have no read.

really though how was your stay in valuetown? ....sorry, you knew it was coming lol.

I only block the river when there are hands in the villain's range that he could call and lose with, AND I think there are hands in his range that might bluff the river. here, i suppose he could bluff AsQx or something, but does your block ever get called by worse? probably not.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

gotta fold the river. tough lay down though, can't blame you if you called

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

Is the turn a trivial check?

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

I think it's probably check/fold.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

I mean if you had to do a pokerstove range I wish you could weight it so Asx was weighted higher than hand with a K in it because I think you see Asx a lot more than any other hand if that makes any sense.

You can eliminate some of the Kx combos in Pokerstove to more accurately represent your read.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

Not a sport.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

If I checked the turn it would be to call. Villain thinks he has to protect here so has value against lone spades (in his opinion), he also thinks he might have a solid bluff as the king is a decent scare card that you have shown weakness against. The villain may think he is value betting / protecting / bluffing with any kind of mediocre hand that called the flop.

I do agree that some As-x are in his range, but how many As-x do you call a re-raise with preflop and what % of time do you just call the flop?

nice post, as usual.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

Given that you only beat a bluff AND villain checked turn it's difficult for him to be bluffing very often here.

I think hero checking turn and river here induces a bluff from weak hands and missed draws. I agree with true, by checkign the turn (and river) we have to call.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

as played check-shove river

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

Alright if Im checking the turn how often should I lead a blank river? (im drunk)

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

honestly, I would every time.

You disagree with me then, I would check/call the turn, but if the turn was checked through I would check/fold the river. In my opinion it induces a valuebet not a bluff.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

i use the exact same line fgators, but i play laggy splashy, whereas you play one gear "look, here are my cards" style, so w ur image if villain isnt retarded i checkfold river.

Re: Poker is my Favorite sport
 

FGators why the horrible reputation on BBV?

I guess I'll take it. You could have just dropped the cheap shot though. And you have no idea how I've changed my game.
