What do you put him on? My line looks so weak he could very well be bluffing here. We actually only beat KJ or air.

Pretty bad river too.

I bet more on the flop and I might bet the turn too, even jam it

You are right, but as played, do we call?

this was the only part of the hand i noticed:

robyx said, "but i'm still horny ,like an hampster in heat"

anyway the way you played this hand i probably fold, dont like how you played the hand, some times we screw up and just have to pitch it when in these marginal situations

Im not sure why you didnt bet the turn. I can't really put him on AK, so I think you have the best hand, the best draw, or both.

As played, I think this is a bluff often enough to call, but its marginal at best.

probably checks turn as a bluff catcher since if we are ahead, not so many cards can come to beat us. This makes sense as long as you think your opponent is very unlikely to call a turn bet with a worse hand, but may bluff at it if you show weakness.


Anyway I'd bet more on the flop.

The more I think about it, theres no way I wouldn't call that river. It's like were inducing the bluff and folding to it. Bet/fold would better than check fold. If he has you beat, pay it off.

Bet more on the flop as everyone said, and call this river bet.

I like as played. I don't see why you have to bet big on the flop with top pair. The flop bet seems standard. No point in building th pot on the turn with a medium strength hand, and the turn card is dangerous. It seems like a very easy call on the river. If you induced a bluff, good.

flop should prob be bigger, turn is prob a c/f to a reasonable bet in a vacuum, riv is def a c/f. i dunno what types of hands u guys think ur gonna see turned up when u call.
