200NL: Getting max value with nuts

[TimberBee]

No special reads on villain, seems a little "meh" though.

My reasoning for my smaller bet on the turn was that he would probably raise with a big queen, and I didn't want to chace out his small pairs.

This sucks.

Does he call down light? What's your image? Have you been 2 or 3 barreling a lot lately? Would he bluff a missed draw when checked to?

Against an completely unknown opponent i'd just bet $38.

c/ring is good in this spot because villain will most likely lead out with any Q or a missed fd. This is risky though because many villains will check behind w Qx or a busted fd.

I like potting here more but I wouldn't expect a call from anything other than Qx.

C/R here sucks hard.

Medium pairs (TT, 99, 8x, whatever) are checking behind an overwhelming amount of the time and a whole lot of villains are calling a 1/2 pot bet on the river with them. Don't miss the value.

Qx is going to get all in with you most of the time, doesn't matter if you b/r or c/r. Even still, as has been said he rarely has the queen here.

Flush draws don't really bluff as much on the river as you seem to think.

If he floated you, he would have probably raised the turn. People very very rarely float and then float again when the 2nd barrel is fired.


Basically, he isn't bluffing frequently enough and is checking behind hands that would call too much for a c/r to be any good.
