what are you doing on a river c/r?

Re: NL100 - AK with TPTK
 

River bet sucks. You are getting called by better more than you get called by exactly kq, qj. And he is very rarely showing up with qj with this line.

Re: NL100 -
 

i dont really love the way this is played

i think i raise flop for a few reasons

get value out of K9,KJ,KQ

it seems like he is mini raising with a draw in order to dictate the price on the turn

fold obv, but I'm more interested in what to do on the river..
does he value bet this river with 2 pair? What do you think of the riverbet?

but will K9, KJ, KQ call? I doubt it. every set would be very happy if I go broke here with TPTK. Or am I wrong?

Post is fine no need to apologize, don't post the results of what villain's actions were after you bet the river though.

There are a few different lines you could take in this hand. 3-betting the flop is certainly an option, though according to your read he doesn't raise flops light so I think just calling is ok. You might be able to find a fold on the turn but calling this street is ok as well.

On the river I'm checking behind because I think he's checking a lot of two pair hands that are scared of the flush draw coming in, even if we have him beat I doubt he's calling with the action and board, so yeah check behind.

Re: NL100 -
 

river bet seems super thin, the rest is fine imo.

edit-- I think I usually just reraise on the flop, but I don't mind this every once in awhile

of course hes calling with these hands on the flop he has top pair...most of us wouldnt put you gotta play these people like the donks they are

ill edit if im wrong but i believe flop action went...you bet 6 and he made it 14...i raise to 32 here...with those draws out there im willing to go broke to a set
