Yuck. That was the worst possible card for you.

Check behind, you lose to trips (76/65 suited are likely) and any two spades. If villain really plays &gt;35% of the hands, he must like draws.

You only beat a weaker ace and overplayed X9s. Would villain really check-call twice with such hands? Unlikely.

Re: NL25 AK rivers TPTK after double barelling
 

Would he c/r on the river with a flush? Not likely w/o specific reads. Also, I think you would have heard from trips by the turn.

He might have 97, 98, 9T...A9, a small poket pair, or 78. I would value bet the river

[/ QUOTE ]fwiw this is exactly what i was thinking on the river. But can a worse hand call and how much can it call?

Don't double barrel against calling stations. Check the turn.

As played, value bet river for like half-pot.

Check the turn behind for a freecard. That 2 didn't change anything in the hand; if he has a mediumpocketpair, a nine or a six he will not fold to your bet or worse he will checkraise you . (2) You might only chase out a flushdraw or straightdraw of which you are in front of at this point. If you have villain seen make loose calls with medium pocketpairs and a nine I would valuebet this, but otherwise I would just check here..

Why not bet turn here against calling station? I'd understand if you had said the same thing against a Lag. Is there any reading you'd recommend on this?

I would actually bet turn against a calling station because I know (a little better) what a c/r means on the turn. I would bet for value.

I'm not betting this turn against a calling station because I'm on a bluff having only A-high.
