Oh and welcome back man!

Isura will answer this better than I but I'll take a shot.

Before the flop action the range is any 2 cards ATo or worse because there was no PFR from CO. By calling the flop sl. overbet villain likes something about their hand but they don't give you credit for much either because you only completed SB preflop and you look like you are trying to steal. I would put villain on a weak ace or 7 and keep betting until they show otherwise - 1/2 pot on river.

welcome back, good luck with 6max

I think that whether a river value bet is in order is dependent on your image and your opponent's tendencies.

I should be value betting when I know I'm ahead, and here, i certainly don't know that.

You don't have to know you are ahead to make a value bet, just that it is probable.

jeez how many people did quark tell I'd gone busto?

I'm low, but i'm not there yet. And I'm sure even if I did, I could spring for a couple more hundo's after a little bit.


As for this hand, I just felt after I was called on the turn that I was tied at best. Villain held AJ and MHNG.
Not even being results oriented, I feel like the vast majority of the times I bet this turn (or similar situations) and am called, I am holding a 2nd best hand. Although, I suppose that b/f the river is better if I am planning on calling a bet of some kind anyways.
