Ugly river, range mergers n stuff
 

4-handed

Standard TAG UTG/CO raises, 2 fold, I call with 55. Flop 238rb. I c/c. Turn 4. check-check. River is a K. I check, villain bets 12,5bbs into a 16,5bb pot. Now what?

does this std tag bluff scare cards?

you should have that in your notes if you know him well enough that he is a std tag

Standard solid tag, so yes.

His bluffing frequency should go way up on that card, so I suppose your calling frequency should too.

Re: Ugly river, range mergers n stuff
 

insta-call if he's decent.

What do we do if villain range merges with an overbet?

Re: Ugly river, range mergers n stuff
 

if i'm not getting a decent price, i'm folding

Re: Ugly river, range mergers n stuff
 

If he's decent that's more reason to fold.

Can someone please explain "range merge" so I don't feel so stupid? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

If he's a passive nit, not a good player, that's more reason to fold.

why is this relevant? river isn't an overbet. r u saying u have notes on him that says he overbets w/ air, monsters, and medium strength hands?

I am trying to think of strategies that villain can use, and we can too, for being less exploitable.

Re: Ugly river, range mergers n stuff
 

easy call. its such a juicy card to bluff, and u should know it. if he happens to have it this time, its standard variance, if u see this happen more than once or see him checking a similar spot in the future, note this and u will know what to do vs him next time.

Re: Ugly river, range mergers n stuff
 

Nielso, the question on the river becomes dependent on your read of a player.

If your read is:
1.) He bluffs this card a lot
2.) He values this card if he hit it
3.) He doesn't value an 8 or 77 like this

Then call

The best way to be less exploitable from villains perspective is to mix up whether or not you bluff the card and make some thin value bets with 2nd pair type hands
