I get tricky and pay for it vs. regular

[DMoogle]

Villain is pizza_midge, who's a 2+2er. I have his stats as 23/18/3. We've played together a decent amount, but we don't seem to go at it with each other too often. I believe I may have butchered this hand. Should I have led on the turn? Comments on all streets please.

how about leading the flop? you have the highest pair with the highest kicker on the board after all.

[jackflashdrive]

Horrible turn to c/c. Bet the flop, bet the turn, and bet the river.

As played c/f river.

[Laetus]

Yes, you should. But you should have lead the flop as well, this isn't a spot to get tricky in imo.

[SMiLEsCRiES]

You botched the hand pretty good, but you already know this. As you played it, I would call river Vs most players.


But, I would almost never do this anyways, since I value bet the river here.

No need to get this tricky on this type of board.
As played on flop and turn I would valuebet the river as your line looks strange and he might look you up light.
Given you didn't bet the river I think river decision is pretty close. QJ, JT certainly is a large part of his river betting range.

[AAismyfriend]

Value bet the river he might convince himself to call with a worse 2 pr.

[captainwacky]

i'd rather bet/fold the river than check/call
