Stars 109 deep stack spot

Bond18 · #1 05-14-2007, 07:15 PM

This is a round or 2 in. By the river i'm staring at the board and i just can't see much i'm beating anymore, especially not that makes such an obvious value bet. I like a fold here, your guys thoughts?

Hello QJ/JT

I agree. I mean.. you beat like 89 if he decides to play it this way, but that's unlikely and you beat nothing else.

did you consider a block bet or were you just going to check-fold. I agree you don't beat much but AQ and maybe QJ, it's possible they also floated with KJ and picked up the OE on the turn. probably not a bad board to check-fold AA on but there are still hands you beat that make some sense there.

You're not reading the board correctly or something. KJ is the nuts on the turn. QJ is a straight on the river.

Nearly all his hands in his range should have showdown value, and he'll very rarely try to valuebet something worse than your AA / bluff w/ hands in his range. Fold, not close, imo.

i agree pretty easy muck

Booo, it's a fold.

I just can't see a rational player having anything except maybe AQ that we beat.
