50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

Villan seems like a standard pstars player, not too good. I was actually happy at the 8 being a safe river card. What is the right play???

y check turn?

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

Bet the turn for obv reasons yo and river is prob a fold

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

Raise a little bit more PF, bet turn. I probably make a crying call on the river

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

I think you should bet 15-20 on the turn for value. As played I think that I fold the river

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

Why are people so reluctant to call the river???

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

That big bet/call on the flop means he can have hands like 89s or 68s a lot, once two eights are on the board I don't think you beat a lot, even if you did happen to be ahead on the turn.

Well judging by his preflop and flop action, you're right, this guy is pretty bad.
And considering the turn added 2nd pair to his already massive combo of 1 overcard + gutshot call on flop, you were destined to go broke if you had bet the turn as he was never folding and you'd now have to call the river.
As played, the fact that it came runner, runner 8 makes the river a hard fold as the only hand that you could think he could hit was maybe 89s or he slowplayed a set and just boated up?
It depends on whether he's the sorta Villain who plays wierd cards and then only shoves the goods or he's the sorta Villain who plays wierd cards and constantly bluffs scare cards.

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

Whichever sort of villain he is, he could quite legitimately be value betting a lot of hands that you beat here after you check the turn behind. Not to mention bluffs. It's not that much over a pot-sized bet

AA, re-raised pot, you're going to go broke aren't you? (Esp on a fairly unscary board.) I thought that was standard. Also a slightly larger 3-bet pre-flop would prob be better

Re: 50NL, AA, @#$% river, what do I Dooooo?
 

flop: bet AT LEAST pot size. there is nothing wrong with betting 1.5 the pot size espec on dangerous flops like these

turn: shove

river: call as played
