I must need help, too. I check behind hands two and three more often than not.

I dont see much value in betting hand one.

you're missing a lot of value then. so many draws missed that an 8 is going to look up a 1/2 pot bet a ton.

missed draws dont have an 8. the 40/10 calline guy could have anything, so yeah a 1/2 bet might be called by a pair.

He shows up w/ a busted draw a lot...but there's definitely value to be had from 99/TT/8x or even 7x against this guy. I make it like $99.

Hand 2, I probably just check.

The third is really close. If he were an aggro-tard...I probably C/C here. Since he's somewhat of a station, I'm tempted to bet like 1/2 pot and expect to get called by worse Q's a good % of the time.

Sigh. What I get for just looking quick at the bet sizing. Sorry about that. I really, really need caffeine (ldo).

I'm torn between checking and blocking. Stack sizes are awkward for a good block bet, unfortunately.

why check hand 2? to c/f?

Re: Need help value betting river, please
 

I probably make an obvious little vbet hand 1, C/C 3.

F it, B/F hand two.

scallop, Im sure what pepper123 meant that heros range include a bunch of missed draws which is why an 8 might look him up.
