I\'m a station
 

Stacks $200 effective

UTG+1 (25/20 kinda aggro 2+2 LAGTAG) raises to $8, I call on the button with 66. Blinds fold.

Flop ($19) 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He bets $16, I call.

Turn ($51) J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He bets $38, I call

River ($127) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He checks, I check.

fwiw I may play 33 the same (just have a little problem with him bluffing with hands like 55/66 here). Thoughts?

Not terrible, but you lose to 77-TT. I would play the same way and be shown up by those hands. If I raise the turn, it puts them to the tough choice. So in retrospect of hands like these...raise the turn.

Re: I\'m a station
 

I like it, this player is definitely capable of 2barrelling here with A high

When he checks the river I like my hand a lot, but its not good nough to bet with since he probably wont call with Ax, but will call with pairs that beat ours, so the check is fine.

Re: I\'m a station
 

The whole idea behind calling with this hand is that he likely doesn't value bet any bigger pair for value on the turn since Jx is a big part of my range and there are hardly any worse hands I can call with.

I think raising the turn puts you in a situation where you lose the most and win the least

Only if villain is calling with pockets here. Will he?

Re: I\'m a station
 

I agree with tickner here. River bet is bad imo.

Re: I\'m a station
 

Well, the point is I don't think he bets most pocket pairs here, so obviously he has a boat/quads/air. Vs. this range raising would be totally pointless.

Betting didn't really enter my mind.

You think he's betting Ax/boat/quads more often than a PP/boat/quads?

He should have a pocket pair very often here. If he's betting into you twice with air, he should bet the river too...it's a perfect spot to triple barrel...but I guess he doesn't know what that means.
