Do you guys push/raise the river for value or you just call ?
I think its close.
He will fold many hands I beat and mostly only call/reraise his better hands.

calling is fine here imo every street looks good.

i probably raise riv to 400.

looks fine to me, riv raise is realllly thin. not to mention if he pushes we'll be getting over 6:1 to call, so raise/folding isn't too hot.

Crashem · #5 12-07-2006, 02:07 AM

I would sometimes bluff in spots like this with nothing. So he may call me here cause we have played a few thousand hands against each other.
He had QQ and I think he would have called. Couldn't put him on this though due to the preflop action.

yea, i wouldn't sweat it - i think you played it fine. his cold call on the flop can easily be a set or 67. i think you just caught him with a v slim % of his range.

DJ Sensei · #7 12-07-2006, 02:15 AM

looks fine to me against somebody who's only coldcalling preflop 2% of the time

I don't think river raise is good at all. He prob. has a set here, maaaybe JJ, but I pay it off.

I see he had QQ in the result. Except for cold call that makes a lot of sense.
