25NL - AJ hits, but villain is calling

[Eriol]

[ QUOTE ]
Check behind on the turn and call the river.

I agree, you need a small pot here, also because if he called the flop raise he will call almost any turn bet w/ a strong draw.

On the river call or bet for value if he checks

Remember, villain is passive, meaning he is also check-calling his monster hands. We only have top pair, let's not build an enormous pot with it.

[/ QUOTE ]If he calls a turn bet with a strong draw (or any draw) that's EXACTLY a reason to bet, right? If you are holding 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] would you like me to check or to bet this turn?

check behind - call river is good to
- induce bluffs from more aggro players : not the case
- prevent yourself from getting c/raised of a better hand : not the case, you can easily fold if you get c/raised here by a passive player

I've seen sooo many donks (even these passive ones) bluffing the river with a busted draw after you check behind the turn.

As played I easy call the river.

[CaptDrew]

Call river, split pot.

[resboard]

Not really sure how you say split pot. Are you putting the villian on AJ also? Hero has two pair A's and J's

[monkeymaps]

I can never fold this for better or worse odds are too good if you lost then its just BBV.

Check turn is good too but betting is fine IMO

I couldn't agree with this more. I don't know about you guys, but I make my money when I bet my hands against people who have draws or weaker hands.
