Default Re: AJ in a 3bet pot (help me not frig up this river)

[ QUOTE ]
Ego,

We are betting the river primarily for value. With the turn being checked through, we may have instilled some false sense of security in what is an inferior hand to ours. We are looking to get called from marginal hands like Jx all the way down to even A9.

The fact that he may bluff raise with busted diamonds or even a missed straight draw (with or without a pair) makes a bet even more enticing. But getting him to bluff is not our primary goal. It is a perk. Not missing value is our objective.

So now villain is calling 3bets w/ j8s and A9 and is also checking behind the turn on this J79Q 2s board? I think he shows up with those hands rarely. I also think our hand is very well concealed. I think we're going to see pp's a lot more than A9 type hands, and very few of those call this river but may take a stab when checked to. But that's just my opinion.
