NL50: Large Pot w/ OverPair OOP at the River
 

Villain is unknown. Just sat down at the table. What is the right line to take on the river here. A straight just got there, is he slow playing a set? Push, C/C, B/F?

I think b/f in this spot is pretty bad. If you're going to bet, might as well push since it's less than a PSB anyway. You'll get looked up by a lot of Qs and maybe even some stubborn JJ/TT type of hands.

You should be good most of the time since there was no raise anywhere along the way. The only legit hand you're afraid of here is JT, but I see a lot more weaker hands calling your bet here. I really doubt villain will VB a weaker hand, but will most likely call a VB from you.

unknown = shove.

I need a read to even consider c/f'ing this.

You have $26 behind in a $53 pot. There is no folding allowed here. If he has JT, so be it. If he has 57 or T7, compliment him on his play.

If he has a Q, he is going to check behind for the most part but he will often call a bet. You don't really have enough left to be bluffed, so you can't really check to induce here. So bet. Stick in the $26 and be done with it.

OK, I did push and he showed JT for the straight. I have been betting my Over pair hands on more streets now, rather than cking T. Didnt work out this time.
