SB checks, Hero ???

SB is SUPER SUPER PASSIVE. I think he could well check a flush three streets. He does call too much but not like insanely so.

Is this a value bet? Thoughts on his calling range that I beat.

1/2 pot valuetown, I think he calls you with some worse kings (not too many) and probably any Jack. Fold to a raise obv. Stats would help.

You can check back river or go for $45 it's up to u. It's about even EV either way. Check turn and bet river for $35 is MUCH much better.

I disagree, I quite like the turn bet. Villain's calling range is wide, which probably means lots of hands we have crushed.

Lol, not against a loose passive. He's never c/ring the turn with stuff you beat, like A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] + pair, and he's not calling the river with the lone A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] but he'll call the turn with it.

I think that makes no sense. You get no value when you win and you lose the same amount when you´re beat.

Re: River value? vs nutty passive
 

Yeah checking turn is very wrong in this case for many reasons. Against someone who could CR the turn with a wide range I might check behind but never against a loose passive.


Anyway - what calls river, KT, K9 is that it? That's not much considering he can have AK, KJ, 55, etc. etc.
