25/50c river decision..

So.. I Called the river, but afterthought it was probably a bad call. He had AcAx.

ty for answering ;-)

bet more on the flop.. AcX and sets will call more than a 1/2 pot raise on that flop, most everything else is folding to your raise anyway.

I think your preflop call is pretty thin. Granted you are multiway and have the button but I sill fold this facing a preflop raise.

Your flop play is good. Firing the turn is no good because the pot is huge and you are turning your hand into a bluff.

So the river is basically a question of "is he bluffing"... well if he is its a pretty sick bluff to be honest, but its an understandable one because you checked the turn. Its hard to put him on a set or 2pr because I feel these would have pushed the flop so some kind of club makes good sense here.

Even with the decent odds I think it is really hard for him to be bluffing here so I probably fold. The fact that he is betting tells me that he has a club and any club he has is better than yours.

You should supply reads with your post, it would make this easier...
