Re: a rare block/value bet
I'm not sure if checking the river might be better, but I'm quite sure your fold is good. Check-calling a flush card and then donking a blank / straight card looks like either BS or a weirdly-played flush, so it's a pretty bad play for him to raise with anything but a super-strong hand on the river.

Looks good to me, its a flush a lot. There's no way he raises over with air.

Re: a rare block/value bet
i don't agree that he won't raise with air. i'm not saying necessarily that we are ahead of his range enough to call, but saying he wont raise w/ air assumes he lacks very basic handreading skills. it should be clear to him we don't have a flush here that often.
when you lead the river, what are you hoping to get value from? or are you just hoping that your dinky bet freezes him up from making a +ev bluff against you? as played i think it's a fold but i'm not really sure if i like the bet in the first place. if he is a good player he is more likely to turn kq/qt into a bluff than call with it, IMO, and a lot of his range beats you here. KT, QJ, hearts, sets, overpairs... i just dont see that many worse hands calling here. i mean kq/qt is what you're hoping to get value from right? |

i'd shove over your bet with any 2 here [/ QUOTE ] ok, you would. but how common do you think it actually is? i think there are a lot of people who want to but don't. if you think it's common, do you take a line like mine with the nuts (serious question)? edit: or with AQ and call the shove? |
