waiting for the river
this was a live, full hand but I think it's better suited for here because it's a blind battle.
villain in this hand is a winning live pro that I haven't played with in a while because I think he moved or something. He's notorious for playing too fast, but if he played online he really wouldn't be. We have a lot of history and he thinks I'm always trying to outplay him and I guess I often think the same thing, but I think it doesn't happen a ton. I've 3bet him otb in a resteal situation with KJo, and once with KQo from the SB against his MP raise - seemed to have pissed him off both times. I once raised AQ from EP, he cold calls in LP, called my flop and turn bets on an ace high board. I sexy the river and he 3bet with king high. so there's some history. I open from the CO with AKo, he calls in the BB. his range here is huge but not stuff like T3o. flop AQ2r he checks and calls turn 9 bringing a flush draw he check raises, I call river 3 no flush he bets, I raise. if he 3bets it's a set or AQ very closely approaching 100% of the time. |

I don't get it. You played the AQ hand earlier and he seemed to play back at you a lot. What made that call easier than this one? Was it the turn play? Based on the history it seems like folding vs. this player is a bad idea. |

Re: waiting for the river
the sexy and the screwplay are something that I've pretty much never seen anyone do in this game (and in fact I think it's usually a bad play and I've only done it a few times). So on the hand where I sexied him he probably looked at it as something that no one ever does with a big ace, and was very possibly a frustrated KK/QQ/JJ. I've thought about that hand a lot and I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to push me off a big ace there.
in the hand in the OP it looks almost exactly like aces up or a monster or a bluff. no one ever folds top pair in these games and I really don't expect him to think that I will. who knows. mostly my question is river raise vs. turn 3bet. |

Re: waiting for the river
so make up a range for him and see if you're ahead enough of the time. if you feel confident folding to a 3bet you only need to be best >50% of the time for a raise to have value. would you say his range here is a pair of aces+?

[/ QUOTE ] I think youre working too hard to try to own this guy Jba. I think you should just call the river. River raise is too thin IMO. If this guy is truly a winning pro, that river raise cannot be profitable. |
