25NL, river value problem

Tomke · #1 04-13-2007, 06:57 PM

Considering the amount of draws, I think river c/c is the correct line amirite? But what do I do when villain makes this really weird bet instead of shoving, leaving just a few dollars behind? Do I shove, or do I just call as I probably won't get many worse hands to call a shove?

I'd bet anything he has the flush and is just betting small to make you call with the odds being offered. Of course, I'd call here just to make him prove it, no way I'm folding trips for 5:1 pot odds.

I would bet that he is bluffing because he thinks you missed your draw. He could easily have a hand like KT. You have to call..if he flopped the flush he would have played it faster unless it was the ace high flush

Definatly call, no re-raise.

just call, he could also have AdQx

Results in white:
Villain had JKo for 2 pair. So I missed some value, but apparantly that's standard in this spot

Grunch,

You have half your stack in.. if he has a K, he's gonna call, if he has AdTx or something, he'll probably call. Just shove.
