$25 NL River action - VB or Check?
 

Villain is a 20/2/1.5 over 41 hands

We're in position, but I'm pretty much lost on this river, and every scare card possible comes in.

Is this a clear bet? I don't put this guy on a flopped straight, he doesn't call a medium suited connector in the blinds.

The only hands I can put this guy on that may be in his range AJ, Q's, J's, KQs.

I'm honestly lost as to whether or not this is a VB

b/f looks good

edit: meh b/f isnt possible...i think ill just put SB all in, not much more relative to what weve already put in

shove.

I'll be honest...I wimped out on the river and checked behind.

I couldn't quite figure out what this guy played this way and figured the only possible conclusion was that he was drawing and got there.

He had Kings...I don't think he calls the shove either way...I just wish he would have pushed the flop [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

wow don't say checking behind is wimping out, i think this is a clear and easy check on the river, on that board you aren't getting value from anything that doesn't have you totally smashed, b/f is so weak and a crai would be puke
