Blind vs Blind, Tough river decision
 

Villain is 18/15/2 over 500 hand, but most of these hands are datamined since I have no history with villain. I suspect he is 2p2 because of his name. Overall the guy seems solid.

Hero ($174.50)
UTG ($56.10)

who?

This is very player dependant

Re: Blind vs Blind, Tough river decision
 

usually no

but history and read dependent

Re: Blind vs Blind, Tough river decision
 

Witouth any history this is a fold.

Re: Blind vs Blind, Tough river decision
 

What kind of hands can we put the villain on? I checked the turn, so isn't this a bluff a lot of the time?

Edit: I mean is it safe to say villain would almost never take this line with QJ,KJ, another AJ, QQ+ without any history between the two of us?

Re: Blind vs Blind, Tough river decision
 

i don't mind your line. i think checking behind the flop and shoving the turn are also reasonable lines.

i'm having trouble coming up with a hand he can have on the river. TT makes some sense, as does air. i know i'd shove a drawy flop like this with QQ+, but i suppose that's possible too.

i think the river decision is very close in terms of ev.

I think folding is best. the only hand in his range he would call oop and which yuo beat is AK

I think this line from tags is often a missed turn c/r.

Also JTs makes a lot of sense given his line

And of course air and missed draws.

But flush draws are much less likely in reraised pots, and the fact he'd probably c/c any weaker top pair hand makes very few hands he'd turn into a stone bluff.

I.E fold quick the more I think about it

Re: Blind vs Blind, Tough river decision
 

So this really isn't a missed FD or stone cold bluff over 55% of time? Really?

You need to have the best hand 35% of the time.
