$115 NLTRN nasty river

[DDBeast]

Villain is bad. He often min bets crappy pairs. He makes some loose calls. I think he will call with a lone king, and I think he'll bet a lone king. Is a block better?

i like how you played the hand.

wouldnt make a blockbet there either.

Just check and give him the chance to bluff

I like a block bet here. It looks like he is trying to block bet in position. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I agree, if he is very bad and will bet with a ton of weak hands, let him make a bluff or bet with a hand that is killed, against a smarter, more thinking player, I think your putting yourself in too tough of a situation by checking the river here, so in that case I would block, but against a baddie you think you'll get a bet out of with alot of weaker hands and bluff, I like the check

You played this hand well .

The only difference I may have made was to bet a bit more otf . You want to define your hand , and betting around half the pot on a drawy board doesn't really accomplish that .
