I dislike the turnbet...as for river, that [censored] is strange, I'd just fold this. I think he's too good to do an ACTUAL blocking bet here against someone he knows is very good/thinking but which he has little history with (which would be a perfect opponent to make this induce against), it's way more likely to be an induce imo.

In the heat of the moment, though, given the betsize, I think even I would often end up calling out of confusion, but I really think that ends up badly more often than not (as in often enough to make it -ev.)

really? man w stinger's image i would be so tempted to jam for value.

if he slowplays a flush i would think he always checks it on the river. looks like AJ

[MDMA]

Honestly, if it is a fake non-flush blockingbet (i.e that is one that is going to call) I'd assume it's likely something like AA/QQ/33 and AxJd (I doubt he raises AxTd and/or gets passed turn with that even), and against that range, raising for value is still not good. I guess AxKd would be possible to, but I find that one to be less likely to fire river given the chance of stinger having A3, which the other hands do well against.

I agree, this is AJ/AQ a lot.

LOL this is maybe the worst advice ive ever seen.......

Raise more on flop, bet turn, just call the river.

I think Crablar is making a questionable blocking type bet just often enough with something like AQ, AJ, or AxKd for you to call. I don't really like a raise at all for whatever reason, I think he could easily have a small flush and will call with it (he's very aggro but does sometimes get tricky with big hands) and he's not bad enough to call that often with the weaker 2 pair hands.

I like your turn bet, he'll definitely be calling with pair/flush draw a pretty high percentage of the time.

i'd just calll out of utter confusion
