TPGK raised on river

[RockRattler]

Villain in this hand is 34/17/1.45

He had been calling my c-bets very light so I decided not to bet the flop this time. My plan was to bet any J,A or blank turn card if he checked flop behind.

If he tends to call your cbets light then a flop check is fine. On the turn i would bet a bit more. ~7.5$.

On the River we can c/c or b/f. I like to bet there but i would probably bet a bit more again and then fold to his raise.

IMO betsizing is fine here, but im of course open for suggestions.

I really don't like c/c river. I think we loose so much value by doing so. I was trying to get value out of a PP or 8x on the river. These hands will check behind all day.

well your betsizing is only correct if your doing this to induce a bluff, therefore you must call.

Your river bet looks a bit scared. So some villains may tend to bluffraise you there after they missed a draw or something else. That's y I would bet a bit more here. If you make 15$ you will less likely be raised by air.

This is fine if you folded.

he is 34/17/1.45 - Maybe checking would induce him to bluff but a half pot bet?

well I might be way off here, but I still say that riverbet is ok.. 15$ might be better though idk [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

bet more on the turn. $8 or so, then fire $15 on the river. what is his river agression. sample size? if you have a large sample you can see his raise river stats, and won at showdown when raised River. i would call here if he has a fairly large river agression (ie - more than 2)
