Default Re: Obv river raise? late in 100 on stars.

He doesn't have AA-QQ as he dint raise. AK-AJ, 77-JJ very possible as he had to call 3K into an 8K pot.

Consistent with a check on flop.

combination of bet on turn+river is weird, 4/5 of pot and then a weak (almost blocking type bet) on river ... So on river, I reduce his range to remove any A's, maybe he missed a stright/flush.

So small raise of 8K is irresistible for him to call.

Thanks for the responses.

If the hand had happened 30 minutes later i'd have played it differently for sure. I didn't bet the flop because i really didn't want to get semi-bluffed off this hand by a huge range of draws. As it turns out this guys calling range preflop is probably a lot narrower than it appeared at the time. He turned out to be extremely tight passive. He ran 12/2 over the 100 hands or so i played with him in the tournment even when he got really good chips.

As for results. I felt that the pot was big enough for a push (i was 90 % sure i was good). So i pushed the river and as pretty shocked to see him insta call with AK. I still feel that a call is too tight on the river, but the discussions of a smaller raise on the river were interesting.
