can villian think?

[/ QUOTE ]

He appears to be a first-level thinker.

I fold the turn if he bets $10+, but doesn't a half-pot bet on both streets seem either really weak or really strong?

(And yes, if he calls the turn and checks to me on the river, I'm obviously insta-shoving.)

is there a gap-in-logic here? ur sayyin his bet is either super strong or super weak. what makes u think him callin weakens his range? and if hes first level, hes probably snap callin any bet on the river if he calls the turn

(not tryyin to insult. just tryying to make sense of it)

[/ QUOTE ]

It depends really. I see a lot of guys at this level call a turn bet to fold to a second river bet. Since he's a first level thinker, he's not thinking about the river yet, so I don't think a turn call makes it a lock that he calls a brick river. That being said, I'm not sure auto-shoving the river is a +EV bluff, but it's the line I take in that situation about 90% of the time. Is that bad?

its bad against these types of players in general, yes

and like Slater said, this is FPS at its finest if ur including the river shove. just take the 1shot turn stab if ur going to do it (and i dont rly condone doin it here)
