A Hand I Played

[ILOVEPOKER929]

This hand happened online in a 5-10 game. No read on villain besides stats which are 36/19/1.61/WTS 30.

I'm in the BB with 5h5c. Everone folds to the villain who completes in the SB. I raise and he calls.

FLOP comes out 9h 4d 2d. He checks, I bet and he raises, and I call.

TURN is the Jc. The villain bets, I raise, and he calls.

RIVER is the Ac. He checks and I bet...

I think the turn looks like a good spot for a free showdown raise. villan has a lot of draws in his range as well as 9x and 4x hands. are you value betting or bluffing on the river?

I like everything until the river bet.

i like preflop and flop play totally standard i think. The turn raise if he wont often bet his air/missed draws/4x 2x on the river I like it more. Given his stats tho he could be the type to just keep firing so I probably just call the turn and river, if I raise the turn I definitely dont bet this river. I dont think enough of his range is 9x and folds it or 4x 2x hands that dont fold the turn AND pay off this river.

There's nothing wrong with just calling down from the flop raise. Thats the line I take most of the time. I agree that my river play is debatable, but as I said to Miles, I still like my river bet alot vs this opponent. Against the vast majority of people out there, river is a standard check.

How does a guy you have no read on w/ average looking stats not fall under the "vast majority" category?

Against most player types I'm checking the river.

I dont know. That's the beauty of my river bet.

How many hands is that read over? I'm not partially inclined to trust the WtSD number unless there's quite a few hands. If we assume that's his real WtSD, then this is essentially a pure bluff as he would almost always fold worse hands on the turn along with some better ones. So does he have a better hand and fold it one in nine times? I'm going to guess and say no on the basis that he's probably not good enough to take a call-fold line here.

Stat read is over approx 3,000 hands. I will respond to the rest of your post later Leader.
