Re: I do this a lot
I usually fold the river because it seems like an unknown always has a pair when he does this. Not sure if its correct though.

Re: I do this a lot
Heh, this is pretty similar to your A6o hand in the HU forum. If you look at turn + river play, you end up putting 2 BB in to try to win 4.5 BB. Yet on the turn you have a weak A high hand with 3 outs (at best) when behind and very vulnerable if ahead. I think my line in this hand would be either to check/fold the turn, or bet/fold the turn and then check/fold the river.
Given how you played flop and turn, what hand could BB have that calls the turn besides his one pair hands? Well he could have had a gutshot on the flop, but presumably he needs to be double-gutted or open-ended on the turn to continue. That leaves -- QJ, Q8, J8, 75. Of course, 75 got there on the river, so your river call is based on the hope that 2 out of 11 times your opponent will have passively played his draw with QJ/Q8/J8, but decided to bluff at the river when checked to. (Your opponent could also have KQ/KJ, but it's more likely he raises before the flop or checks behidn the river with these hands.) I don't think you have a profitable river call given how you played the hand, and I think it's questionable at best whether you have a profitable turn bet. |

Re: I do this a lot
yeah im not really sure about this hand and im not really sure how i figure out what my turn/river line is here (which pisses me off i dont), I think i adjust to player tendencies. If recent metagame means im looking him up with A hi when I ck and only folding air he doesnt have to bluff KQ KJ, if i think he knows this and plays solid id ck fold the river.
the turns of pretty dubious value I ck fold if i think QJ and some range of air will raise my turn bet anyways sometimes I ck call here just to mix it up or if our recent dynamic in blind battles has been im cking and folding the turn often and I think hes floating lighter ect, i like to know hes not a total spaz of will fire two with air vs my ck call turn line. tough spot the turn bets getting a bit spewey I think though? in a HU match ur line seems fine-ish, the more mindlessly aggro the more often u should take ur line rather than ck folding somewhere. |

Re: I do this a lot
c/f turn seems bad given all of the straight draws possible. this flop gets peeled by a huge range of hands and a lot of villains will bet their whole range when checked to on the turn
I use c/c on the turn sometimes vs aggressive villains, but I feel like that line makes my hand very easy to read especially if I have used it before on the same table I assume that villain is loose and bad until proven otherwise, so I don't remove gutshot+overcard type hands from his range after he calls my turn bet. maybe I should discount them though |

Re: I do this a lot
i play it like this. i don't agree that gutshots fold the turn very much (especially with an overcard like Q8 or K7). the river call might be slightly -ev (i think it is slightly +ev), but i'll gladly take a hit to see what he played this way in this very common spot.

The problem is that you have very little equity when behind, usually only a fair amount of equity when ahead, and you have a positional disadvantage. I think ALWAYS check/folding this turn is too weak. But I think ALWAYS betting this turn and check/calling a blank river is also a pretty lousy line and makes it fairly easy for the BB to play against you. If you think that check/calling the turn gives away your hand (A high that is looking to showdown UI), then I don't necessarily think it is that bad. Your opponent will generally play the river "perfectly" by betting all of his pairs and checking behind his missed draws; so you can respond by playing perfectly by check/folding UI. BTW, I am not suggesting you should check/fold A high in general on the turn on this board. A primary consideration is that your kicker is a 5, which is an undercard to the entire flop. I'd be much happier betting the turn with AQ, where I often have 6 outs when behind and I can beat A8 and A7. These little differences add EV in a marginal spot. |

Re: I do this a lot
for this board specifically that seems like an ok line to take. Often villain will have a busted straight draw without showdown value that he now feels compelled to bet.

I'd be calling enough to discourage a bluff, but not always paying off value bets. |

Re: I do this a lot
or maybe folding sometimes will make a bluff more likely, so when I call there is a greater chance of snapping one off
