also i think lots of guys play way too tricky vs well known players like carrotsnake just becasue of their "reputation" even though playing straight forwrad would be more profitable most of the time

Just c/rai the turn. To say he only calls with better hands is bad because:

a) you could be bluffing (and in fact your line looks bluffy)
b) he could be tilting
c) calling and then calling river shoves is -EV becuase your hand is face up as an overpair (lol @ you if you would play a 6 or J this way). Sure, he'll bluff shove some, but not with a percentage that makes calling correct for you.

Only hand you beat here basically is like Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]/8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]/3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and that's only with the (unlikely) assumption that he doesn't raise the flop with those hands.

So for you to be good here he's calling the flop with complete air, and then firing 2 big barrels with it. Because like, almost all the pairs he can have rivered 2 pairs or straights or sets, and trust me, he's VALUE BETTING all of them -- your hand is face up and he isn't "turning them into a bluff", lol.


If you really think his range for calling a turn CRAI is just 2pair+ than you should really be c/rAI a lot more turns, no? lol.

I take stack-a-donk vs. regs a lot because they're like "WTF? He'd never stack-a-donk ME with an overpair"

exactly. this is the most important thing to consider regarding the river decision

[Bulletproof Monk]

i value shove 2 pair here.

i think your river play is pretty bad

[RiverFenix]

Ok thanks for the feedback. I really didnt think hed be value shoving 2pr here as like I said earlier in equity terms hed stand to make more by betting under pot if he thinks I have an overpair. Anyway, MHIG on the call but I doubt I'd play it the same way again forcing myself into that guessing game.

no offense but this is the worst way you could have played this hand. stop leveling yourself with 1/2 metagame and 2p2 reputations and play poker.
