Flop: (t975) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (t1875) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (t1875) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t900</font>

This is just after the rebuy period ended, hence the deep stacks. Villian just moved to table, so no reads.

Here's what I was thinking during this hand:

Preflop- I was just taking a shot with a speculative hand in position. With stacks this deep this is not an uncommon move for me, even with a suited connector this low.

Flop- I decided to call his flop bet for a few reasons. First, I did catch a small piece of the flop, and there are a lot of good turns for me(any diamond, 4, 5, 3, 7). Second, if a bad turn comes and he checks to me, I may be able to steal the pot from what could well be a continuation bet.

Turn- I opt to check behind here because his bet on the flop appears to have been a c-bet, there are very few cards he can catch to beat me if I am behind, and I may be able to entice a bluff on the river.

River- I make a bet slightly larger than I would if I were value betting a K here, hoping to get a call from a A high or maybe even a raise from a 9.


Thoughts on all streets are welcome.

I usually bet the river a bit bigger here. Preflop, flop, turn all look good.

I think your image is critical to this hand. I float a lot in position, so I am betting almost all turns when the action comes to me like this. When I hit my perfect card like you did, I am betting (instead of checking) for deception.

However, if Villain is tight and perceives you as such, I like the turn check.

I think I would bet the turn as well. If he's got a K, he's calling you. If he has nothing, you probably won't get much more out of him on the river. I'd bet another 450 at him after its checked. The villain just moved to the table so he has no reads on hero.

I'm betting this turn @ 1K or so most of the time. No way he has you on a 4 &amp; if he top pairs/2prs the riv, I want all I can get here.
