you're really calling this sherman? I think it looks like he has an ace, considers trips the nuts, and wanted to crai the turn. I don't see us being ahead 2/3 of the time, I'd drop it.

Remember guys, villain's river bet is really only a PSB because of hero's stack size, so we're getting 2:1. I'm also in the camp that likes a check on the flop. Given villain's image, the fact that we practically begged him to try to take the pot from us, and the pot odds, I think the river is a mandatory call. I mean we bet pretty weak on the flop (I like the bet size for this board, but it still looks weak) then checked behind on the turn, our line looks like absolutely nothing. Anyway, I can't fold here.

First of all, in spots like this, I lean toward a flop check in position. I'm not looking to balloon the pot because if I head to the turn and check, the river is going to suuuuck. I don't want this to be a three street afair - cut it down to two. Boards with paired aces, it's like, if you lead when you have one, you get paid here; if you lead when you don't have one, you find yourself in trouble.

The river is a call. I don't know what my stack needs to be to let this go, but at 17K and with his big stack and a missed flush draw and your check on the turn, this is a perfect opportunity for him to lead OOP and pick up the pot. In fact, I can't see a reasonable competing justification for a fold here.

i dont like check on flop bc a king or q high hand are in his preflop calling range. i think you played the hand well. i think i call this i smell a rat hes bullying you imo alot. yes sometimes he will show down ace but i still call its ace or air almost all the time

We don't have to be ahead 2/3 of the time. We have to win 1/3.
