Hey I was wondering what you guys thought of this hand.

The guy took all his time on the river to check.

I think a friend made a good point that if he didn't have ace high to beat a busted flush draw, he surely would have bet this river.

This is an interesting river. The best I can come up with is a fake block bet of 300 or 400. I figure this way you may get looked up by a weak hand, and the bet is small enough that a busted draw may try to come over the top to push you off.

Opponent plays good. Hands like this would make me reconsider my edge.

Hands like these are the ones I wish good players wouldn't post because they give bad players good ideas.

you played the hand fine. let him bluff

Can someone explain the opponent's flop raise? Is he doing it just to apply pressure to TT-QQ,AQ type hands?

picking off pots on K high board is standard for a lot of players deep.

If I have any ace im prob folding and anything under 88 probably too


without counting the 9Ts and the likes that i can RR with

think about your reraising range. think about how often a hand that you reraise with would have a king in it.
