Do you value bet this river?

(and i read the super sick post on ValueTown - so dont just post links!)

Re: Value bet?
 

Yes. Like $3.10. Get a 9 or like TT,77 to call.


Fold to a check raise

Re: Value bet?
 

I would bet out $2.50 on the river. I think it is likely that he has a pair of nines and is afraid of the flush draw or the A. Do you have any reads on the villian? If the villian was really passive he might have an A and be afraid of the flush but I doubt it.

Re: Value bet?
 

Definately betting the river here. BB hasnt shown strength at all in this hand. I usually fire 3.00 at a pot this sized on river. Fold to a c/r/shove.

Re: Value bet?
 

Glad you all agree - bet $2 (mabye too small) and was called by J3 for 3 threes.

Re: Value bet?
 

So you were right...anyone who is going to ch/call, ch/ch, and just ch/call on the river with trips here is definately paying you off when they have a 9 or similar underpair.

Re: Value bet?
 

You must bet here for value on the end, villain has shown no had strength at all. As far as the results go, make sure you take a note on this guy. Btw, I would probably bet turn once I hit just so I make sure I dont give one card flushes a free chance to hit.

QFT. Make sure you actually DO fold to that raise though. It can be tough to follow through. Sigh.....

Re: Value bet?
 

I like your line and bet the river for sure.
