100NL: AA Value Shove
Villain is a 23/4/2 idiot. I've seen him limp UTG with 63s, and he has a bad habit of checking the turn with the nuts before insta-potting the river. I don't know him too well, though, so I'm not sure if he likes to bluff-shove the river.
My image is TAG. I've been running ~20/17 at this table (I've been here for ~45 minutes), and I've raised his limps a couple times and won every pot without a showdown. He's probably at least a little annoyed that I've raised him 4-5 times already. UB NLHE - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 8 Players Hero (BB): $130.90 MP2: $96.00 Preflop: Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (8 Players) UTG calls $1, 2 folds, MP2 calls $1, 2 folds, SB calls $0.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $6</font>, UTG folds, MP2 calls $5, SB folds Flop: ($14) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">Hero bets $10.50</font>, <font color="red">MP2 raises to $21</font>, Hero calls $10.50 I don't buy it. I don't think he has me beat, so I'm not folding. I called with the intention of CRAI on the turn. Turn: ($56) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) Hero checks, MP2 checks I whiffed on the turn CRAI. River: ($56) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players) <font color="red">Hero shoves for value (Villain has $69 left)</font> I'm not folding this hand no matter what. I figured he had a jack or nothing here, so I shoved for value because I don't think he's good/smart enough to get away from a jack. Does anyone check here to induce a bluff? |

Re: 100NL: AA Value Shove
I only like a check if you think he can bet a J (your hand will look pretty weak) otherwise bet river, i usually bet 1/2 pot to induce calls from weak J's but it really is read dependent if u think he calls a shove then even better!!
Couple of points about the rest of the hand though: 1. why not just shove flop? You dont think he calls with QJ or 98 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? 2. Bet turn. You are ahead of his range and he will check behind a lot. |

Re: 100NL: AA Value Shove
if you think he is unable to fold a jack, why not bet the turn?

Shove flop, there will come no better spot.

When he checks behind, it leaves me iffy on whether or not he will bluff the river if I check again. [ QUOTE ] Shove flop, there will come no better spot. [/ QUOTE ] That doesn't make sense because it takes away his ability to bluff. |

Re: 100NL: AA Value Shove
If you weren't folding then I like it. Its a lot better than c/c a shove in this spot imo. He shouldn't ever be vbetting worse on the river so it will come down to bluff frequency if you c/c.

Re: 100NL: AA Value Shove
I think you should have just checked...and called if thats your line. I dont think a J is calling here...and people seem to play the same regardless if youve raised the twice, three, or five times in a row. It doesnt change.

You're telling me you never adjust your game when someone keeps raising you? If a guy 3bets you five times in an hour, you're not calling/4betting lighter than usual that fifth time? That seems really weird. |
