Party 200 Value or safety ?
 

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1652736

Thought I would get some feedback on this one coz its a bit odd.

No read on villan, I had not been on this table long.

I like the call on the flop, just to be sure the other 2 are folding.

On the turn I think I should push, but maybe he just folds.

Dont like my river bet, with the A its easy to put me on AA so I am probably only going to get called by a house,
if I get raised I am calling so its probably -EV to bet here.

If I knew he was a rock or a checkraiser I would check, but maybe there is some value in hoping he cant fold a straight for a small bet ?

Played perfectly. You can raise the flop sometimes.

Re: Party 200 Value or safety ?
 

Your line looks fine. I dont raise turn because you only fold out hands that you beat.

Looks like an easy all in IMO. Pot is like $270 and you have $120 left. If he hasn't somehow been bluffing and has some kind of hand I'm pretty sure you get more value by going all in.

I thought an allin would be an easy fold for a straight,

my bet looked weak so it introduced some doubt.

I'm not very experienced with 1/2 on Party but I've played some 0.5/1 and here I would not expect a lot of players to fold a straight getting those odds.

I suppose I get called less often but I get paid more when I am called, its close.

All-in river

If that river is an easy fold for a straight, you should push any four cards.

Just raise the flop. There's a chance your straight's good, there's a chance you fold out the same straight, and you're never too far behind.

This hand is played well in my opinion, although I raise the flop a lot of the time as well. I don't get your statement about making sure they fold on the flop; are you waiting to see if the people behind you push? Are you seriously planning on folding if someone else raises?

Bet this river for value 100% of the time unless you have a read that opponent will check/raise with nuts or something like that, although with stack sizes, check/raising the nuts doesn't make that much sense.
