WA/WB AA hand

[Raxor101]

I am running at 19/13/2.5
Villian is 24/14/3 over 80 hands
Effective stacks sizes - $50

Not sure if I butchered this, I probably should have bet a bit more on the river, perhaps $10.

WTF ???


Dude you look like someone checkcalling with the intention of keeping the pot small, and then you suddenly decide to bet river ... to see if he has a king or ??

Check/call river and keep it small or bet bet and then block or checkcall

[Raxor101]

The river was a block to prevent me from having to pay off a bigger river bet if he has the K.

I figure if he has JJ QQ TT or some pair etc he calls my river bet (I don't think he 3rd barrels with them as much as he calls and pays off) and I get value. He can only raise on the end with a K or better?

I am not sure thats why I posted it...

[Gelford]

Now we will never know ... he could be doing it with a seven or .... hard to say without table feel, but damn .. you do look weak, like TT or something.

But yeah, as played you have to fold river to shove.

looks like somehow standard. not as bad as it looks like ;P

[Raxor101]

Well we won't know but does the specific result really matter? Does he really do this with just a 7 to push me off TT often enough long term for it to be wrong for me to fold? You are confusing me.

[Gelford]

Well ... Perhaps you are right, that a block is waranted here. I just thought it looked wierd.

Tbh ... do don't deal much in these kinds of check flops oop lines, tho many claim that there is more value in it. I tend to bet and get it over with. I would also be AK here, so ... oh well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Why are you checking flop? Turn? I'm betting all three streets and playing for stacks with AA HU.
