Re: 50NL: KTo River Value Bet
 

Preflop I would probably raise there as there is alot of dead money from the CO post and BU limping is probably weak.

I don't like the river bet there the board his really terrible and I don't think you are getting paid often by worse than your hand there. All the draw got there and vilain could have higher two pairs. I would probably c/f river given that vilain will not bluff often there given his small AF.

preflop is good, flop is good, but I'd bet closer to pot on the turn. Say $7 on the turn. you're almost giving the villians odds to draw out with a $5 bet and given the drawy nautre of the board you really need to protect you're hand. Even a shove on the turn wouldn't be bad.

Don't like it.

Villain can't really call with a worse hand here - the board is heinously scary. Flush came in and a 1card straight that looks to be HUGE in his range came in.

Villains stats? He'd have to be an absolute and total drooler for me to consider this.

Good point on the turn bet size.

Re: 50NL: KTo River Value Bet
 

make the turn bet larger and you also make the river slightly easier to play.

I know check folding feels gross but I think it's better than putting him in. Only worse hand that calls river is maybe J10 if he's really bad.

AZ, you're pretty decent at NL50, what would you do on the turn? Because once you're betting a bit more on the turn it becomes easier to put him in on the river simply because of pot vs stack size.

Given how it's played here i agree with folding rather than committing, but if it's played differently on the turn (and maybe the flop) then the river action is different imo.
