Hero checks...

Villain is a pretty good, aggressive TAG who I play a lot with. I've been pretty quiet. Thoughts after afew reponses.

He's gonna check unless you're beat, b/c this river?

So if we check and he bets, he has us beat, but if we bet and he raises, we call? Doesn't make sense to me.

Re: Passively played tpgk
 

jay, could you explain your logic in this hand?

it seems to me that you have a pretty big hand. why turn it into a bluffcatcher?

Re: Passively played tpgk
 

This is fine, snap call river obv if he bets.

Re: Passively played tpgk
 

Why check the flop?

Re: Passively played tpgk
 

Insta-call most bets on the river. The hand looks fine.

Re: Passively played tpgk
 

How often do you check the flop OOP after raising pre against this guy? Does he float you or raise your cbets a lot? That kind of history has a huge impact on whether your flop play is good or not.

Re: Passively played tpgk
 

why are we check-calling this flop after opening? i agree with goofy that you need to provide some kind of history between you if your going to play the hand in such an unorthodox manner.

as played, i don't see a fold on the river to be very good either

I agree, the hand looks fine, but why aren't we pushing his bet on the river?
