Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

Not much I recall about villain, which sucks. CRAI or shove river?

Another 2p2 was watching me play this hand. He thought that this might be a good spot to CRAI since villain's range is mostly maid up of weak hands. My only concern is checking could potentially lose some value here. Thoughts?

bet river

most of the FDs in his range include the Kd, which he won't fold, and he's not likely to fold AJ+ after making it to the river..i dont think he has many hands that he bluffs river with

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

on the one hand, i can't really put him on a hand that will call three bets in a row. on the other hand, he must be pretty retarded to bet a missed draw here because it would be so obvious. i think you could give it a try because the only hand that might call a bet and not bet when checked to might be the one A left in the deck.

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

If villain has weak hands we don't want to check. He could have a draw, but he may not bet it, plus it's a 3 bet pot, so I'm less worried about a draw.

Value bet river

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

As much as I love river checkraises, I think betting is better here. AJ and AQ shouldn't be folding at this point, and they are more likely to check behind then turn their hand into a bluff (like that foxwoods AJ hand [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]).

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

Gotta bet. Odds of him looking you up are way higher than him bluffing after you bet the turn.

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

your losing to much value by checking. You have ot value bet river your getting looked up by a wide range on the river. Checking is terrible i think!!

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

i dont think that a lot of people try to bet their busted draws on pf 3-bets pots...

i really like a shove here...villian is gonna think "wtf is representing here when a 2nd K comes on the river and shoving!!" so he maybe call with marginally hands like A8 sometimes and Obviously KdXd...

Re: Shove or CRAI River with monster?
 

I shove. I just don't see many hands he bluffs with it
